Woman, in her 60s, white:: So, you played the piano because you're Asian! Me:: I think I played the piano because my parents are both concert pianists. Woman:: All Asians play the piano, or the violin.
Are you implying that you experienced being stereotyped?
That all asians look the same and all have the same interests. I know because I am an asian and have experienced it myself.
It must be frustrating when others lump you in with every other Asian person based on generalizations that are cliche and ignorant. To think that all Asian people have the same interests and talents and even culture is narrowminded and while it's not your responsibility to educate them, perhaps tell them to read a book.
