For the most part stereotypes for any ethnicity/nationality is false.
It’s just assumed to be true from media and what people say online.
Sure may some might be true in that instance but you can’t/shouldn’t generalize it to be applicable to 100% of the people, 100% of the time.
That just makes you ignorant and racist.
That’s like saying all East Asians know martial arts, all African Americans and Latinos are gang members or drug peddlers, Italians and Russians are all gang members, etc.
Most of the time it’s not true at all.
About Chinese people not being able to speak English is false.
Most people who were born in the late 1980s and later are very likely to be able speak, read, understand, write, and type in English as with many East Asian countries, English is taught in schools.
Well English grammar is. Sometimes they’ll have trouble speaking because what is taught mainly is grammar for the sake of exams in schools and for career reasons.
There’s also the necessity to communicate in English among those who are into videogames since many gamers speak English.
But those that are currently in their 50s and older may not speak English at all or very little unless their job requires it as it would otherwise be inessential to their everyday living.
That thing about Asian eating cats, dogs, etc was true but only during war times or during great famines.
It’s not only China. People in South Korea for example also ate dog meat.
It’s just viewed as being so disgusting by Western nations because it’s not normal .
But it wasn’t normal for people in China and South Korea either. It was out of necessity to survive during those times.
Stereotypes are usually false or applicable during extreme circumstances. People shouldn’t make these assumptions and presumptions about people if they haven’t had much or any personal experiences.
