Okay, I just felt the need to contribute to this nonsense.

First off, I'm American, 100%. (although admittedly not Native American)
Second, I've lived in Korea, I've been to Singapore and Malaysia, and Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, China, and Thailand.

And I'd like to say that when people say "Asian" to me, I don't automatically assume they mean "Chinese" or even East Asian.

Just thought I'd throw that out there so there's at least one exception to the generalization right here on this post.

But yeah, Americans do love being stereotyped. Every single last one of us.
