Cheap A** Asians

Asian are cheap! Yes, I guess that's one of the stereotypes that people say about Asians. We have cheap food, cheap toys, and will always try to bend the dollar. Before the US Housing market entered the "dark times", Asians have been looked at as cheap people who always look for a discount. Asians will always save any penny they find or make it a mission to not pay full price for anything. With the famous comedian Russell Peters always doing a skit on how a Chinese salesman and an Indian Buyer meet inside a mall. Watch below,



Talking to one of my friend who is a Realtor, I had asked her if her job has been affected by the down turn of the economy. What she had told me was surprisingly shocking, she said that the majority of people who are buying houses are Asians. She said that they are the ones that are being approved for loans or even down right paying cash on foreclosed homes.

This negative stereotype has actually turned into a good stereotype given the times. The media today talks about how families can save cents here and there on everyday items and how to make the dollar stretch.

This is evidence of the times changing.
