dumbthingswhitepplsay:

1. All Asians look like John Cho.
2. Asians know everything. Seriously, everything. And they can probably fly in secret and they just don’t tell us.
3. If an Asian person tells you to do something, for the love of god, do it. NEVER cross them.
4. Black people are all hard. Every one. They’re hard as…

29. Most of the time, a PoC on a white show contributes to further appropriation of their own culture. This is mostly the writers’ fault.
30. For every outright negative portrayal of a PoC, a “normal” PoC will be added in order to balance thus.
31. If a PoC does end up saving the day, they will most likely never appear ever again unless they are part of the main cast.
32. The foreign exchange student is almost always a PoC.
33. Asian men never date white women.
34. Black women never date white men.
35. White people can be overweight and still be considered attractive, intelligent, etc.
36. Overweight PoC will almost always be comedic relief or have some terrible character flaw.
37. PoCs are always more “spiritual” than white people.

38. The “normal” PoC referenced in number 30 really means “PoC who is otherwise seamless with American/White culture”.

39. If a PoC dates a white person, the PiC will be “normal”, as stated in 38.
40. All Asian parents are strict in regards to academics
41. Black parents are lacking when it comes to academics.
42. If a Black child is a good student, they are more likely to be rich.
43. All Asians are rich, own a sterotypical restaurant/curio store, or both.
44. Black people hardly ever own and run their own businesses.
45. If a Black person does own and run their own business, it’s a stereotypical one, like a custom auto shop.

45a. Or a pawn shop, or a restaurant that’s actually a front for the black market/gang activity/secret stairwell that helps the white character escape.

46. Older PoCs have access to ancient magic/voodoo/spiritual powers.

47. If a PoC is seamless with white culture, the fact that they are a PoC is never mentioned until they need to miss school for Kwanzaa/experience “that one episode about racism” in which hir white friends stand up for hir.
