what really are stereotypes other than cliff notes to describing a race or a social class or any other sort of human congregation? tell me if there is a better way to describe the asian american population than through stereotypes and i'll drop them (stereotypes, not asian americans) right here and now, i'll fucking stop writing this entry on the spot (of course, unless you have telepathic powers -with me of all people- that seems unlikely to happen)… like all cliff notes, there is a chance with stereotypes –and a good chance at that- that something will be missed, that out of the five essay questions there will be one you have no clue how to answer because researchers at cliff notes inc don't get paid enough, but that's okay because you can choose to answer the other four essays even though one of them is the most difficult on the exam, but at least you can bullshit your way through it and weasel out a solid b or even a b+ if you feel particularly inspired that day… and that is the same that'll happen with stereotypes, maybe not the first time you use them nor the second nor the third, but one day they'll bite you in the ass when you completely misjudge someone because you missed not one nor two but three things about them, and then you've failed miserably and insulted them for life, which is fine if you're mediocre, if you don't mind having the occasional c on your report card…
