Ahh, the last Sunday before school starts back. As a few people know, I had a pretty good weekend, what with the grade celebrations on Friday and the being comatose until ohhhh 1 on Saturday morning. Great stuff.
Now I have to go back to studying – which oddly enough is just fine with me. I’m ready to get back into the crazy schedule I’m usually on, but I’m also glad I managed to get in as much social time as I have these past couple of weeks. The fun thing is that I’m probably heading to Lex next weekend to play DDR with Dana! That’s right, kids! DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION!! Lol
I’m 15 years old and Asian, in case you haven’t guessed. Speaking of stereotypes (cause we all know it’s the 15 year old Asian boy that’s always on the DDR machine), I think it’s funny how we all object to stereotypes and how “awful” they are…but we adhere to them when judging other people. Oh and let’s not forget we tend to fit them. Not to be too un-pc, but let’s be honest.
There’s a reason we came up with these stupid group identifiers – it’s because different groups of people tend to act certain ways. For instance, my friend Cathy talks about Eastern Europeans being kinda dirty. (She insists that my family is from Middle Europe, not Eastern Europe – therefore not dirty. Just drink a lot of vodka.) At first I was flabbergasted (damn that's a good earth – I mean word. Sorry.) And then I started thinking about it…..even my grandparents call their Russian friends the “dirty Russkys”. And it’s a little true….so I can’t say anything about them anymore. ;)
Even so – I’m not saying that abiding by stereotypes is a good thing. People are still individuals. Even if I am studying to be a lawyer just like a good little Jew. And white boys still can’t dance. :-D
