After all, the page about Western stereotypes of West and Central Asians mentions Borat several times. Hokie Tech (talk) 22:17, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I note that in comparison to the southeast asians article, this one is dreadfully small. Who's watchlisted this, and can we get a group together to crank out some content? ThuranX (talk) 13:26, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Stereotypes of South Asians's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

From British Pakistanis: 
From Barack Obama: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:54, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

message: The article is relevant to the topic because it gave background information, main ideas, and major historic events and demographics lead up to the topic. There is an equal distribution between where these stereotypes of South Asians happen and overall accurate emphasis on how the topic circulates among population and reasons to why it happens. There was a part of the article where I was distracted and it was the 'Sexual Jealousy' heading. There is a source tied with the heading, but the editor should have been more clear and concise on how that heading had to do with the topic instead of quoting the source.
All information presented in this article are seen to be neutral to me. Even though the topic consists of 'stereotypes' there were loads of appropriate ways of interpreting information that consisted other races or ethnic groups views on South Asians. Since the article is primarily based on South Asians, there was only information about stereotype against them instead a bias. Ayasin 4 (talk) 15:13, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Evaluation of this article 

message: Changing the article to Stereotypes of Asians gives a wider scope, like inclusion of Japanese stereotypes that exist. Available reference: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0016549299061003008  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.4.26.61 (talk) 04:06, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Change the article to Stereotypes of Asians

message: As seen in the first section of "Region-specific stereotypes -> Great Britain and English-speaking territories -> Cultural stereotypes" : 
"[...] more likely to be in poverty,[63] more likely to be in prison,[64] and more likely to be less educated ..."
As per Wikipiedia's own definition of a stereotype, a stereotype is "an over-generalized belief about a particular category of people" and "an expectation that people might have about every person of a particular group [...]".
Thus when you deem people from a specific population as being more likely to show some characteristic trait or another, like being more likely to come from a lower income social strata, more likely to adhere to a specific religious tradition, or more likely to be marginalized and resort to criminal behavior to ascend the social ladder etc. etc. you are not stating a stereotype but your own assessment of a social trend. 
Your assessment may be spot on or very wrong and ill-considered, but in any case it only becomes a stereotype if you expect every person from that group to present said trait.
Otherwise about any kind of assessment made about any trait from any group can be deemed a stereotype.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB05:8281:5600:E5D9:4F2B:E7A6:CE57 (talk) 15:26, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
