One of the things that I CAN NOT stand is when people stereotype me.
1) The nerdy, defenseless Asian stereotype: I'm anything but a book nerd, so why the hell are people assuming that without knowing anything about me? So what if i'm 5'2, so what if i'm Asian? It doesn't give people an excuse to be ignorant. And trust me on this, I am anything but defenseless. I'm not going to sit in the bathroom and cry if someone does completely bitchy to me. I'm the type that would do something about it. I just want to get that straight. - If Karma doesn't get them back, then I will.
2) The girly girl stereotype: Though this is the complete opposite of the first one, I somehow get stereotyped with this as well. Its probably my love for fashion that induces that. But here goes my rant...i'm not fucking scared of getting dirty, i'm not going to scream when I see a mouse, and i'm not someone that won't play a game because "I don't wanna get sweaty". Sometimes people really need to realize that, i'm not some poor girl in need of a "Brave" prince to save her. I tried to get this through to a "friend" of mine, she asked me if I was a tom boy or a girly girl. Silly question I know...but I still answered. I told her that I was really something in between. She just scoffed and said that was impossible. Then she continued to do a pose and say in a fake voice, "I wanna become a fashion designer." This girl doesn't know this, but that comment really irritated me. Why can't she just get it through her head that i'm not one of those disney princesses?
