    Thai Woman vs. American Women 
“Girls have an unfair advantage over men; if they can’t get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.”
Yul Brynner
***
A man once wrote me asking my opinion on how Thai women compare with American women. “What are the Thai women like...are they like American women? I see a lot of American men finding wives there...how hard is it?” 
“It’s as easy or difficult as you want it to be,” I said, responding to his loaded question without giving him a concrete answer. “It also matters how comfortable you are being alone.”
To answer means stereotyping not one, but two nationalities of women. No easy task, but my answer is an opinion and I am generalizing for the purpose of discussion.

It also made me consider how her relationship with her family strengthened her identity as an Asian-American.

    There was an experiment where two pairs of an Asian and a White student worked together on two different packets focusing on math and language. In the controlled experiment, the White student handed the math packet to the Asian and calmly asked if they wanted to do that packet. In the stereotypical experiment, the White student told the Asian to do the math packet because, “all Asians are good at math.” After the experiment ended, the Asian students were asked to rate how they felt about their partner. The student involved in the stereotypical experiment showed a disliking towards their partner as a result of their assumptions. Subsequently, Asians are trying to connect with other cultures and societies by learning American culture and are making an effort. They are trying to get over the differences and find a median between the differing parts of the culture. This shows that they are not only highly intelligent, but also want to engage in social activities and other pursuits. (“Asia focus”). While trying to prove their lives have more to it than just intelligence, Asians are being put down by this seemingly positive stereotype. Positive stereotypes judge others for who they are and Asians feel that it is more than racist. It is not only judging their character, but who they truly are, which Asians find highly offensive.

    ...on-Asians do not take the time to put themselves in our shoes. My mother who immigrated to the United States for graduate school faced racial discrimination. Many workers in restaurants, grocery stores, and administrators mocked her accent and believed her to be “inferior” in some way because of that. They did not consider that English is her second language. If they had just imagined if they were in Taiwan, struggling to adjust to the new culture and language and away from all family and friends, they would not have discriminated my mother. As the years go by, American society is becoming more accepting of racial minorities, but there is always improvements to be made. It is up to posterity to change this hateful practice of racial discrimination. Thus, it is our generation’s duty and responsibility to address these issues and strive to bring changes for the better.

    According to Navarrete, McDonald, Molina, & Sidanius (2010), race refers to a group of people who exhibit similar physical and genetic characteristics that are different from other groups. He also refers to race as social constructs. Racism, however, is defined as the belief that one’s own race is superior over other people’s races (Cote-Lussier, 2016). On the other hand, racial stereotyping may be defined as the blanket assumption that every member of a particular racial group behave and act in a certain predefined way irrespective of their individual unique differences (Wong, Horn, & Chen, 2013; Graham & Lowery, 2004). The two terms, though, are mistakenly interchangeably used in most racial studies. According to Inzlicht & Kang (2010), numerous scholars and researchers have done a number of researches on race, racism, and racial stereotyping.
