Are positive stereotypes bad? {Gadling}
Sep 9th 2008 10:34PM I am Chinese and am only average at math (33/36 ACT Math, but ACT Math is easy). People are actually amazed that I am a senior in high school and only in Honors Precalc, which is slightly above average for Seniors. Otherwise, I follow the other positive Asian stereotypes: I study every night (except for Friday and Saturday, of course), have straight A's, and received a 34 on the ACT (my parents were mad i did not get a 36).
Rhein, I agree that I am pressured to take challenging classes and do well in them from both my peers, teachers, and especially my Asian parents. Still, I support these positive stereotypes because teachers automatically think i am bright.
One last thing I defy the negative Asian stereotype by being 6 ft 2, playing varsity football (no violin for me), and dating a preppy white girl.

What to Tip in 77 Countries {Gadling}
Sep 15th 2007 9:57PM I think the tipping procedure at restaurants in China only applies for hotel restaurants. I noticed that majority of the locally owned restaurants will not accept tips. Once I left $5 on my table and walked out. The waiter ran out and told me I left $5.
