Every time I was asked if I would eat rice for lunch today, I felt a sense of macroaggression in that question. However, I understood that it wasn't meant to be offensive but it was a common stereotype among Asian Americans. This stereotype assumes that we always eat this source of refined carbohydrates because it is commonly present in most of our meals. However, what society seems to ignore is that our meals are more varied than simply eating rice every time. In fact, many Asian-American dishes can range from complex soups and intricate side dishes consisting of fermented beans, steamed fish, pickled cabbage and more. Considering these different aspects of our diet, society cannot assume that the Asian American diet is completely “consumed” by rice. Rice serves as the basis of the diet, but is not the main component of every meal nor is it always present. I agree that laughter is intrinsically part of our culture, which makes this stereotype partly true, but it cannot be fixed in all aspects of our lives.
