Haha. Only if you're smart, or at least not doing anything to suggest you're not smart. I grew up in an area with a huge Vietnamese community, and there was the clique of HS/young adult dudes who were like, a wanna-be gang (except that we lived in the portland OR suburbs, and really didn't have gangs). Anyway, I was in college before I was exposed to the "Asian people are all smart and hardworking" stereotype.

(Now I work in education policy research, and whites and Asians get lumped together for a lot of statistical comparisons, especially achievement data. Federal government language standards have banned (or at least strongly discouraged) "minority" and "people of color" and "non-White." We were having a bear of a time with one report because a variable on one of the files (from the government) has a variable "Minority_Enrollment" which is the sum of everyone who is not white at a school, which we had used in a model about teacher turnover rates. Anyway, we were killing ourselves figuring how to write it to get it through review, so we looked up another report, which used "Percent ethnic students" and I had to straight up veto that one with a gif of Rashida Jones. [In the end, we inverted everything, and used "Percent student body that is white."]
