It's a stereotype. I'll give you an example. I'm Asian American, and I was in Calculus AP my junior year. There were several sessions of the class each day. I was in one of them, and there were about seven Asian kids of Chinese, Indian and Korean ancestry in the class of 35. Other sessions had similar makeups. All through that year, as in other years and other classes, people kept saying, "Oh, you know all the Asian kids will do well," or "Well, you're Asian so you're smart" or "Oh, how come all the Asians are so smart?" The reality was that the 28 other smart kids in the class were white. But no one said, "Hey, how come the white kids are so smart?" The reason is that people succumbed to stereotypes.
