We all know the Asian and "White" stereotypes well enough.... we grew up with them most of our lives. But having met a number of EAs and various mixes, are there any generalizations you can make on your own mix or others based on your personal experiences with them? A few of my "EA Stereotypes" (highlighting the Asian component since "white is white" after all ): (Note to politically correct idiots: These are generalizations and therefore 100% correct all the time).White/Japanese:- These EAs are the best at math, piano/violin and classical music. They rule the concert halls of our day. - EA Mix that secretly believes they're better than all the other mixes. Actively search each other out. - EA male mix most likely to go to Japan to mack on girls after graduation - EA female mix least likely to marry full Asian White/Filipino- Tend to be the most whitewashed of the mixes (especially the girls.... who only date white guys) - EA mix most likely to drop out of school, pursue liberal arts or start a band White/Chinese- Good at cards/poker and videogames - Mix most likely to return to Asia after college - Mix most likely to enter the accounting profession or run a business - Despite being the most popular mix, the EA mix least likely to get involved in violent crime (probably in favour of organized crime) White/Korean- The EA mix most likely to work at your local laundromat - The most gAnG5sta of the mixes, esp the guys raised by Korean moms who foster in them a large dose of K-pride (which also breeds chauvinism) - EA Mix most likely to speak their parent Asian language - White/Korean girls are the most likely of the mixes to get a tattoo Asian dad EAs - Combination most likely to get a post-graduate degree White/Indonesians- They don't exist. And if they do, there's probably 8 of them all living in Amsterdam White/Chinese-Indonesian/Chinese-Filipino- Have a rebellious streak. Most of their Chinese parents were disowned by their grandparents for marrying outside the race, so they're probably the EA mix with the most issues (parents fighting alot when they were kids) and the most likely to commit mass murder White/Vietnamese- EA mix least likely to go back to Asia - Really irritating in general. These guys just piss me off.

White/Indonesians- Well, there's Obama's half-sister. My cousins are White/Malay so I guess that doesn't count.
I certainly qualify under "Asian dad EAs" (along with my two siblings) but I'm not quite there with the White/Chinese combo - I'm decent but not great at cards and videogames, I've returned to Asia after college for travel (but not for living, and I've never been to China), I have no interest in business or accounting (well, maybe "economic" accounting") and I'm not involved in violent crime. Having wrote all that, I'd say those stereotypes are about 50% true - not bad actually...

Herr Professor!!!11 Some questions if you can spare your time11
Have they identified the genetic mutations that causes some people to re-live a delayed adolescence on computers at a considerably old age? Do you think EA's are more prone to being judgemental-if so, would this be primarily a cultural effect or a genetic mutation caused by mixing races?
Do you think such candidates would benefit from counselling and/or active therapy
Danke Schon111!1

Actively search each other out. - EA male mix most likely to go to Japan to mack on girls after graduation - EA female mix least likely to marry full Asian OMFG Due to this, we (my siblings and I) are not stereotype at all: - I don't like classical music, I prefer Deathmetal, Hardrock, NuMetal, Jazz and electronic music (House, Dance, Techno etc...) - I have 2 brothers, who are not attracted to Asian women at all. But ok well, we all were good in science ;D lol

I've never encountered any EA stereotypes. Where I'm from, we just get tagged as Asian.
I'm that in some countries we're supposed to be beautiful - no country I've ever been to.
As for your stereotypes...
White/Chinese - Good at cards/poker and videogames Yeah. - Mix most likely to return to Asia after college If by return you mean visit, then yes. I'm definitely paying visits to China & Malaysia after college. - Mix most likely to enter the accounting profession or run a business No, very unlikely. - Despite being the most popular mix, the EA mix least likely to get involved in violent crime (probably in favour of organized crime) Yeah.

- I don't like classical music, I prefer Deathmetal, Hardrock, NuMetal I heard that in your hometown of Munich, they send children to these defunct warehouses in the suburbs for daycare, where children "play" on the conveyer belts and are fed a steady diet of Kraftwerk and Rammstein. C'est vrai?

White/Vietnamese- EA mix least likely to go back to Asia - Really irritating in general. These guys just piss me off. obviously a stereotype but being mixed vietnamese (well, viet-chinese), i have to say that many of the "con lai"s i ve met weren t the friendliest of the EAs i ve know...and i ve often been closer to EAs of other mixes than the white/viet i ve known...i do know quite a few incredibly nice viet EAs, one of whom actually is back in asia, but quite a lot of those Eas i ve known were very white washed and haughty. don t know if we can call it a stereotype but i ve been let down/disappointed/snobbed by a lot of people of my mix. none of the viet EAs i can think of on EAN would actually be considered annoying-at least to me-. unless your experience with viet EAs that piss you off comes from people on here? saddened that you generally find our mix annoying though. as for korean/white guys: i do know 2 korean/white guys that would definitely fall under the chauvinistic a**hole category. that s just 2 though. i would add that luk krungs/ white-thais are the most likely to remain/be raised in asia and pursue a career in entertainment.

Interesting... I didn't know about the difference of EAs, since I don't know that many different EA mixes around here... White/Filipino- Tend to be the most whitewashed of the mixes (especially the girls.... who only date white guys) - EA mix most likely to drop out of school, pursue liberal arts or start a band I think I'm the opposite of these, but they apply to others I know... - I'm more biased to my Asian side and am mostly interested in Asian men, while my friends only go for white guys. And also the guys prefer white girls instead of us. Most of them only know 2-3 words of the language. I've been back to Asia several times, while most I meet have never been there or maybe once as a small child. - I'm still at school, studying the most stereotypical profession, nursing. My friends either dropped out of school to start a family or jump from school to school without finishing any degree.

White/Vietnamese- EA mix least likely to go back to Asia - Really irritating in general. These guys just piss me off. saddened that you generally find our mix annoying though. yeah, whenever i meet halfie vietnamese, they're all "Hey! Sup?" from afar. Then they come up to you and give you the old playground handshake..... a few seconds of chit-chat and then they're "Where's the money?". "Money? What are you talking about?" I reply. "Yo dog, i made it pretty clear.... WHERES THE MOTHERF*CKING MONEY?". Next thing you know, rickety boat pulls by and 12 half-vietnamese dudes wearing rice paddy hats run out and circle me with their arms crossed. "Got the money now?" the ringleader smugly enquires as he nods his head. I'm all Who are all these guys? And what's this money you're talking about? next thing you know, somebody knifes me, i collapse and the 13 half viet bandits flee back to that rickety river boat. And that boat must have about 8hp because it's just putt-putting down the river and if i weren't knifed in the friggen abdomen, i could probably swim after them and catch them. so yeah, half vietnamese ppl. stay away from them.
