Do you see Asian as a railroad workers?

[Anonymous]

when you see Asian do you see them working at railroad construction? I am Asian by the way

[WhiteSteve]

I know the Chinese were a big part of the construction of the original rail systems of 19th century America. I’m not sure I know of Asians in general being of any particular inclination to work for railroads or railroad construction/maintenance companies nowadays. I’m sure there are some, but not any remarkable phenomenon, I’d guess.

[hahahmm]

Lol. Nope. Never thought that even once & I grew up in the western U. S. where there's lots of Asians and we knew the history of Asians doing railroad work. There's definitely a stereotype of them running nail salons & laundry places but it's not a negative stereotype or something you think every Asian does.

No. When I see an Asian person I never think of what they do for a living.

Grasshopper. I think you are living in the past, 130 years ago. I see them as high achieving academics, physicians and scientists. I also see them as victims of discrimination applying to the universities and the victim of lawless Black thugs. Do you actually see them as "Coolies"?

How did you come to think of this question?
What was your basis for this question?

To answer your question, whenever I see any Asian, I stereotype, which is wrong of me, that you are very much academically inclined and are smart.

[SlangSlayer]

No. Not in America.

Nail salons
Liquor store
Donut shops
Chinese food
99 cent store
Beauty supply store
Laundry mats

Is usually what I see most Asian doing

[OddBeMe]

Like from the old west movies? There were a good number of them that conservatives passed anti-asian immigration bills.

But now? No. When i see an Asian, i think IT department. Thats progress you can be proud of.

When the British (once) built the railroads in Malaysia, they brought scores of Indians.
When the British left, they just left them behind :)

No, and nobody alive today was around when that was even relevant.

[Avicenna]

They built the transcontinental railroad in the US in the 19th century

[Waldoe]

I have never seen an Asian doing that kind of work...
