> We are inferring personalities of racial groups.

Personalities are characteristics of individuals. Racial groups don't have a scientific basis regardless, and "Asia" covers a vast world from India to Korea to Indonesia to Kazakhstan to Pakistan to Tibet to Cambodia to Japan ... it's absurd to suggest you can say anything about all these individuals that doesn't apply to all humanity. My own family members have very different personalities.

> By us? By our culture? By the media?

> the nation at large "stereotypically" ... rated asian personalities at the same level or better than other races

Not in my experience and I sure don't. Is there any basis for this? And see my comment above.
