bad bad driver

  Do you think Asian people good at calculating? or Asian people not good at doing entertain      job?Sometimes people ask me that can you drive? and some people expect that i can do whatever related to math. However those are also stereotypes. Asian people are doing well for driving and not every Asian people good at math. That is because when people watch movies or TV show it shows and explain almost Asian people are studying hard and they do not drive well... This is because directors think that is but not.You might call it the racist stereotype oxymoron. Mexicans are lazy, but are also taking all the jobs. Asians are bad drivers, but are super tech-wizard ninjas.(Which, BTW. Ninjas? Because Asians know kung fu just by having a certain DNA makeup and roots from the exotic Far East? I'm actually karate-chopping my keyboard and writing nuclear physics proofs as I type this.)Some folks might ask, Wait! Isn't a positive stereotype, like the tech-wizard ninja one, actually kind of good? Some folks might also never have been asked to calculate the tip at a restaurant because of their assumed Asian math prowess. How can a group be stereotyped in such diametrically opposite ways? If folks are going to say racist things after a fatal tragedy, is it too much to ask that at least the stereotypes be consistent? Because, you know, we can't possibly be bad drivers and good at All The Things.
