In this week, professor
talked about that Asian women were culturally not taught to speak up. This resonates
me as an Asian. When I was a child, my parents always taught me to endure and be
a quiet girl. In our culture, it is good to be quiet, especially for a girl. Therefore,
when girls are hurt by others, they usually don’t tell others and consider it
as a shame. It is harmful for themselves and for the society.
“The quiet Asians are always
studying, and they take the best seats in the library. The quiet Asians never
hang out with anyone else. The Asians never talk in class—it’s so creepy.” Said
by Tan. (Date Unknown, Tan) This is the stereotype for most of the Asian women.
They are so quiet and creepy.
