Trying to find a time to watch the Hobbits with my significant other during the winter holidays and Toronto's theatres, instead of showing The Hobbit, are showing this:

I wonder why most, if not all people seem to think that Asians are good at/like Maths. I am Chinese, and I can tell you I hate Maths with all my heart and soul, and so do my other friends. Where does this belief/perception originate from?

Well, there are more than one billion of chinese in the world, if 10% of them were good in math, it would still be one hundred million good-at-math asians...
The fifth largest country in the world (Brazil) in area has 190mil inhabitants, so just imagine... (By the way, China is the second largest, only after Russia) |

Well it's known by a lot of people that education is considered a very important thing in Asian cultures, so there has been the long-time stereotype that Asians are all geniuses at everything.
If anyone here lives in America or Canada, if you tried explaining to a high school student that had zero knowledge of a Japanese school curriculum, from the fact they go 6 out of 7 days (instead of 5) of the week and only have 1 full month for summer vacation (instead of 2), the student would probably get the easy impression of Asians being workaholics. Heck I told my sister about it once and she didn't believe me their school year ended in March and started in April.
