What are the misunderstandings about Asians in western traditional social cognition?

In the eyes of foreigners in many western countries, Asians are a magical existence. Of course, this is largely because they are not so far-sighted and see less. There are also many comments about Asians from their own fantasies or from other people's ears. Of course, for better or worse, first of all, it is irrational to look at anyone (not just Asians) from their own point of view rather than from an objective point of view. So what kind of misunderstanding do westerners have about Asians? Let me see.

I'm afraid the first thing to say is to compare with height. Because westerners eat more beef and mutton, the whole person's figure and physique will be bigger, giving people a feeling of being tall and powerful. Therefore, in their eyes, they always think that Asians are very small and are all "dwarfs". However, the reality is not like this.

Take China as an example. Maybe a few decades earlier, because of the low economic level, everyone had no money, and there was no proper nutrition supplement during physical development, which led to a little small. However, as our economic level is getting higher and higher, everyone's living conditions have also improved. We will be more willing to spend money on food, so now we are all quite tall. Although it can't reach the level of tall people in the west, the overall level is definitely not short. Besides, northerners are taller than southerners on the whole.

Therefore, westerners still have a deep misunderstanding of Asians. I hope they can get to know Asians more comprehensively.
