Guest geneyoonit Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 asians aren't "smart" if ur talking about intellegence.. there's a BIG difference between intellegence/creativity/logic/effort/street smarts asians tend to have EFFORT and alot of LOGIC.. i guess that's genetic and enviromental.. but you rarely see asians get any nobel prizes or inventing new tech... it's generally the cacasians who do that :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tammy2012 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 haha "asians are so smart" this is a huge stereotyphical(sp?) thing! one of the reasons that asians are smarter is probably because our parents are stricter with their kids when it comes to school..the older generation believes that when ur successful..it means that u went through school n did really well! n for example if ur parents immigrated to the US or a European country...then when they were young n lived schooling cost a lot so they usually might have not even graduated high school. so they want the better for us(finishing HS n graduating college) anyway can be smart! it just depends on the effort that one puts in to it.

ladolcevita. Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 All the foreign asians will be super smart at math. And maybe more subjects, but that's it. All my asian friends are smart, and really good at everything, except for P.E. X) I'm considered smart by some people, but compared to my other friends, I'm the dumbest =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest treehunny Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 why are asians so smart? uh, EXCUSE ME? i must be an exception then, sheesh. my friend thinks i'm some sort of genius because i'm kind of a computer geek. it doesn't take a genius to explore things on the internet or utilize 'trial and error'. hah, smart? if ONLY.

Guest DarknessFalls Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 The ones who appear smart and intelligent in school because there's a lot of emphasis on education and discipline at a young age. Asians may be smart, but there's a lot who lack social skills. So there's pros and cons to everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mardi09 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 nah....i don't believe that stereotype of asians being smart some are super smart, some are smart, some are okay, some are dumb and some are super dumb i think it just depends on the ones you meet....like the ones in AK...they are smart, okay, dumb and super dumb or at least the ones i've met so far...><... me...i'm just a normal kid..so yeah...

little mixed girl Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 i live in japan, there's a LOT of people who don't even graduate high school, let alone university. the "smart" asians in the US are the products of people who had higher education in their home country and access to money.

Guest tinil-galia Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I don't believe it. I'm Asian & I'm not smart. You can't stereotype like that cause different countries have different standards of studies. So some countries may have their studies tougher, others easier.

frannahhh Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 i dont think ALL asians are smart.. hence disproving the stereotype that asian = smart but yeah.. i think its environmental influences.. i mean.. asian kids tend to get the "when i was young i wanted to go to school but couldnt blah blah" talk more than non-asian.. so yeah.. =S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loversixteen Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I don't know (like my friend who is non-asians think we're smart) i think it's just that stereotype, but it does not apply to everyone, not for me. I'm not smart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsharonx Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 That stereotype kinda humours me lol ^^;; I think it's a lot of do with the parents and how they push their kids, or your own effort in trying and working hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zindelle Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 i think intelligence definitely has to do with the way your parents raise you! when i was younger my parents used to whack us if we didn't learn things fast enough. i was like the top student in my classes back then. and as i got older my parents didn't really discipline me anymore, and i became dumber and dumber. well not dumb, but my grades went down. im not very knowledgeable, but when i study i pick things up really quickly. i dont believe that smartness matters later in life, only knowledge and intelligence, because mostly people who study very hard do very well! this is coming from an extremely lazy student actually back in high school all the "hard classes" were >80% full of asian people. i think the majority of asians just work harder than others.
