Asian American Sterotypes

The other night I was sitting in the living room and watching TV with my friends. I was flipping through the channels and happened to land on Mythbusters For those who have never heard of the show it is about a group of people called "The Mythbusters" ,who well basically look at myths that we all know very well and test to is if they are true or not. We were watching the show for a while and my friend makes a comment about how the three of could dress up as three of the mythbusters because we match them so well. I of course would be the Asian guy on the show, Grant, and my friends would be their respective counterparts. It tickled my brain that the Asian guy on the show was a computer/electronics expert who loved to build robots. Not to mention he tends to talk in technical terms. I on the other hand, have nothing more in common with Grant, except our black hair. Today's stereotype of the Asian male seems to revolve around be some sort of computer nerd or a martial arts master. Oddly enough the people who I know myself who are these types of people are Caucasian. But yeah, I was just interested to notice that one of my beloved shows that I watch has a stereotypical portrayal of an Asian male
