From The NY Times Freakonomics blog:
"Accusing" kids of acting Asian has replaced the accusation that someone is acting white, but they both mean the same thing - you're trying too hard at school.
The thread of comments is what's really interesting. One guy suggests that accusations of being black when someone eats fried chicken and watermelon would be a national scandal...but obviously had no problem identifying and spelling out the stereotype.
