A really foul thing that has nothing to do with stating observations about attitudes of the other peoples.

Let's see what was right about your Asian stereotype as it applies to me: - scored high in SAT (sort of) - applied to colleges (yeah, and I was a foreigner on top of it, got in some Ivy League schools applying from a faraway country) - hard worker (WTH am I working during holidays and weekends and 24/7 -- maybe I'm just not so efficient.... ;) ) - hobbies: studying, studying.. check, check - start my own business (just did it now but it's working out so far, lol) - great at math (kind of, I am a CS major with a long-time career in engineering) - bad driver (THIS MUST BE THE MOST ACCURATE OF ALL. I SUCK AT DRIVING and am a female Asian driver...beware you don't tailgate me on the freeway, and I am just terrible at parking....So I have solid car insurance!). - eat well (could be better, but we have good genes and can absorb the bad stuff well... ;) ) This is some interesting insight here!

Bravo!
