In mass media, Chinese immigrants in the United States have always been depicted as smart, quiet, good with numbers, and afraid of confrontations. On TV shows or in the movies, this stereotype was mostly shown in a comical way, but sometimes it can be somewhat ignorant to view every Chinese immigrant as the same. Moreover, it can be borderline insulting to assume similarities between two individuals, even if they share similar cultural background. Over the past few decades, no one has ever really considered such a representation problematic, but recently, some worrying educators and parents have started to urge the general public to think about the consequences such representation brought about. First of all, it is statistically proven that teachers tend to spend less time teaching Chinese immigrant students, especially in classes such as Math, mainly because they assume it is easy to kids from Chinese immigrant families. Second, other kids in school also tend to think Chinese kids are smarter, so they rarely offer help to Chinese kids struggling in school. Third, Chinese immigrant students think it is embarrassing to ask teachers and peers for help since they are supposed to be smarter and quicker as a learner; therefore, they usually never really show any sign of struggle until it is too late. This is especially tricky with teenagers from Chinese immigrant families because, much like teenagers all over the world, they generally do not talk much about school even when parents ask them how they have been doing in school. One thing leads to another, when teacher and parents find out Chinese immigrant students have been struggling with schoolwork, there usually is no easy way to resolve situations as such.
