After visiting the Monsters and Marvels exhibit in Wang Center of Stony Brook, I feel the stereotype that caused by lack of touching and learning for Asians. People can almost only know how people on the other side of the earth are like. The exhibit divided into several parts with different theme. For example, the manipulator, the temptress, the brute and the brain, etc. But all these are hardly truth for Asian.
For example, in part of The Brain. Asian are defined as hyper intelligent mind without a body; sexless, heartless, friendless, a self-hating prodigy more comfortable interacting with machines than people. On the other hand, the way of drawing is somehow not that “good”. The result is that now Asian are see as people with hyper intelligent but nothing else.
For the most important reason why Asian would be treat like this is the result of media’s misreporting. Most of them will only report those will draw a lot of people’s attention and interest to see. They do not try to find to reason behind all these “characteristics” of Asian.
