Thank you for your good humor and perspective.

I've got to say that I live in San Francisco, which is more than one-third Asian, about five times the national average. I have taught in local public schools for 34 years, which has offered me the opportunity to engage with people of a huge variety of cultures.

I'm also fortunate to have traveled in a couple of dozen countries on the vast Asian continent.

In conclusion, all I can say is that there is nothing like travel and interacting with a large number of different people to be able to bust any stereotypes that people hold.

Just a quick add-on: if you should happen to get to New York City, head to the new Grand Central Terminal connection to the Long Island Railroad [opened within the last year] to see Yayoi Kusama's mosaic tile installation there.
