Confronting Stereotypes

Two children are in school and one asks: Hey bro, what’s the answer to number 4? Other child replies: Honestly man, I don’t know either. Child: Aren’t Asians supposed to be good at math? Other child confronts him: That’s not an okay thing to say, dude. Child: Chill out man, being smart is a good thing. Other child: Positive or not, it’s still wrong. I’m an individual, so treat me like one.
