But, definitely, knowing the Asian stereotypes have made me more aware of like, other people’s struggle against stereotypes, but Asian Americans are just portrayed in certain ways, and there isn’t an understanding that like…Asian people aren’t all good at math, and Asian people don’t all know karate. Even today, I mean, we are so much more cultured, but people still cast the Asian guy for the karate master in the movie. [...] But, when they cast a Filipino person to play a Japanese person! Doesn’t that like…I mean, they don’t look ANYTHING alike! You can get away with Korean-Chinese, like that, movies, you know. Whatever. [...] So that type of thing annoys me, the grouping of what Asian American is, it’s SO HUGE!
