When I watch television, I am sometimes very disturbed by how Asians are perceived. it has become very typical for the Asian girl to be really stupid/bubbly/silly. For most of the shows that I have seen, this seems to be the case. It's a little bit weird. Why cant the Asian character play a more serious role ? I don't know really. For example, in the Suit Life of Zach and Cody, London plays a character who is really stupid. This stereotype that Asians are really stupid is different in the media and in real life. In real life, the stereotype about Asians is that they're really smart and good at math. I see both stereotypes a lot in the media and also in everyday life.
