Since I am asian, there is always the stereotype that I'm going to extremely smart. I would say that I'm an average student, but I still think that this is a positive stereotype about myself because of this popularity. When people expect me to be smarter than I really am, it makes me work harder and to study more often to get better grades; not necessarily because my parents think that I need to be a perfect student. I chose this picture because I think that it's a really funny picture, but it's also not very mean. Also, I think that with the last line saying that "he never gets good grades anyway" almost shows a little bit of acceptance with the fact that his son doesn't get good grades. I think that the "asians should always be smart" line is more of a benefit than a conflict for stereotypes.
