What general stereotypes of East Asians do you think are present in society?
-    East Asians are all math wizards
-    We have small eyes
-    We eat rice everyday
What stereotypes do you face on a regular basis?
Since I’m Vietnamese people always ask if I know how to make Pho (Vietnamese soup), or if I own a nail salon.
How do you dispel these stereotypes?
Honestly I tell them, to be more open minded and that not all East Asians are the same.
