Topic Rational: Asian Americans and Stereotypes

Asian Americans are heavily stereotyped and made fun of in the United States. The stereotypes and bullying come mainly from the younger generations in this country. It is important in stopping these stereotypes, for young people to realize what they contribute to in the stress that these people have. Do you know that japan has the highest suicide rate in the world? And that most commit suicide due to stress, its not just their parents, but its also that people in America choose not to differ between the Chinese people and Japanese people and will call a chinaman a Japanese person and vice-versa. Asian Americans statistically have the highest grades and best educations in the world, and that is not something to make fun of, but rather looked up to and competed against by the rest of the world. The last thing that Asian Americans need is to be picked on and harassed by the American people, especially when most of our video games and computers come from Japan.
