1. Nerdy and academically intelligent
2. strict parenting and high expectations
3. plays an instrument (violin and/or piano)
4. Bad at athletic sports and driving
2. Tiger parents
With the model minority stereotype comes another stereotype that Asian parents are all strict and have high expectations, also known as "tiger parents." According to a journal article from New York University (NYU), Asian parenting styles cover a wide range of tactics and do not always follow the tiger parenting expectations.

3. PLays an instrument (violin and/or piano)
A third steryotype surrounding Asians is that most children play some form of instrument, with the most commonly assumed instruments being the violin and the piano.
In 2021, at a virtual symposium that was hosted by the Juilliard School, renowned violinist Pinchas Zuckerman was reported to be making racist remarks, telling two Asian students that they needed soy sauce and claiming that people in Korea and Japan do not sing.

1. Nerdy and academically intelligent
Many Asians and Asian Americans in school face the model minority stereotype with many assuming that they are smart, especially in science and math topics. According to the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, people of Asian heritage make up 13% of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) jobs across the U.S., due to jobs in such fields paying high salaries. However, holding such a stereotype against all Asians alike leads to negative expectations, according to the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
4. Bad at athletic sports and driving
With the model minority steryotype comes the complementary steryotype that most Asians are not involved in athletics or anything relating to fine motor skills. However, as stated by Asian American author Margaret Magat, the rise in popularity toward Asian athletes, including basketball player Jeremy Lin, baseball player Shohei Ohtani, and snowboarder Chloe Kim, has alleviated the serverity of this steryotype.
