<p>And consider this: A white guy playing piano is creative & music-loving. An Asian playing piano ostensibly doesn’t actually like piano and is “not creative” but practices a lot. I find this viewpoint high offensive - that Asians are basically “soul-less Mentats/working ants” [I hear that one a lot, jokingly].</p>
