All Asians Are Smart

Here is another myth about Asians that I get asked about a lot.

Myth: All Asians are super smart and they spend their spare time doing homework, reading, studying or researching.

Answer: Ok lets get this straight. Not all of us are super smart. We don't spend all our spare time studying, homework, reading and surely not researching. Come on now some of us have a natural ability to not study but absorb information that's given to us. Wouldn't it be boring and tedious for all the Asians out there to be studying all the time.

Some of us have to try hard to get good grades in school while some of us are just natural at learning. If we were all super smart then we would be the CEOs, Presidents, Doctors, Lawyers, and all the high powered positions. (Don't we all wish we were these.)

In reality we're just like everyone else. We have struggles, we have obstacles, and we have triumphs. We have to try hard just like everyone else, so this myth is partly false and partly true.

Asians Dancing

There's this myth that Asians can't dance, and I always get asked the question if I'm able to dance because I'm Asian. Supposedly anyone that's considered Asian have no rhythm, coordination and we're a joke on the dance floor.

Let me tell you whoever told this myth is wrong. We have rhythm, we have coordination and we can show up some people on the dance floor. I have plenty of friends that can dance like they just stepped out of a music video or something. When we're out at the club people crowd around us to see how we get down. I'm not saying that we're all fabulous dancers or anything but we're not all horrible dancers either. I have to admit that there are people out there that don't have rhythm and should just stay off the dance floor but that's true for others not just us Asians. Mostly we can shake it like the best of them and people will be surprised as to how we can get down on the dance floor. Don't judge us by what you hear, we may surprise you. Don't sleep on us...we're only getting started.

Now check out some Asians showing how it's done.
