I believe stereotypes work oppressive.
From when I was young, I encountered stereotypes for being in my female Asian (Chinese) body.
Going to a ‘white school’, a gymnasium in Groningen, my classmates always made jokes about me in math class. I was the ‘Asian’, so my math should be good. When it was good, it was normal, because that is ‘how it should be'. The disadvantage of the stereotype.

When I told my parents I wanted to go to art academy instead of going to law school, they told me ‘that is not how (a Chinese immigrant) should be’.

Because of the way history formed stereotypes, the person being in the stereotyped body has to fight to live up to the stereotypical standard, or either fight twice as hard to prove people wrong.
And when you do good, it is not because of hard-working. It's because of your race and body.

"all Chinese look alike, but you look different, you are pretty!"
- people in the club

"you are the first asian who can drive"
- driving instructor

"really? you don't look Chinese..."
- people who've never been to China

"you have big eyes for an Asian"

"do you eat a lot of noodles and rice?"

Because of miss-representation,
I tried to conform myself to any other group.
