I wished it had not been that way. But none the less, my goal was to simply say that there are both good and bad of any culture. But to really be successful and live in a diverse world you must learn to take the best any culture, leave the bad, learn about other cultures and people. And at the same time not forgetting your roots. Take what you have learned and give back to your community whether locally or globally.

However, with the understanding that “Asian” cultures and “Western” cultures have differences, I still winced when I read the stereotypes implied in this article. Unmarried women aren’t all trying to figure out their lives and “a lot” of Caucasians aren’t more outgoing than Asian Americans. Clearly that is not what she meant, but that is what the statements imply, and I think those statements/beliefs should be further analyzed in this age when many Asians and Asian-Americans are trying to walk the line between keeping a like-cultured community and integrating into the global community.
