How Are Chinese Really Perceived Abroad?\nWhat assumptions do people in th e US and Canada make about Chinese people before they’ve even met them? What changes when those assumptions follow you into a classroom\, a workpl ace or a conversation with a stranger? Join Kuan\, a professional voice ac tor of Chinese descent who grew up in both countries\, for a discussion ab out what it’s like to be Chinese in North America. Drawing on his own ex periences\, Kuan will explore how attitudes can differ across places and g enerations\, and introduce the idea of the “model minority”: a stereot ype that portrays Asian communities as uniformly hardworking\, academicall y successful and unlikely to rock the boat. Why can a stereotype that soun ds like a compliment still put pressure on people and make their struggles harder to see? We’ll talk about how these perceptions shape the way peo ple are treated and what it feels like to be seen as both successful and s omehow still an outsider. Who gets asked where they’re “really” from ? When does a cultural assumption open a door\, and when does it quietly c lose one? Expect candid stories\, surprising revelations and a chance to r ethink what we assume about people on both sides of the Pacific. You don ’t need to have lived abroad or know anything about North American histo ry. All questions and perspectives are welcome\, and there’s no expectat ion that anyone speak for an entire culture. 在美国和加拿大，人 们在还没见到一个华人之前，就已经对他有什么想当然 的假设了？当这些假设跟着你走进教室、职场，或者一 次跟陌生人的聊天，会发生什么变化？跟着 Kuan 来聊一 场讨论吧。他是华裔职业配音演员，在美加两国都长大 。这次聊在北美当华人是什么感觉。Kuan 会结合自己的经 历，聊聊不同地方、不同代际的态度能差多少，也会介 绍“模范少数族裔”这个概念：一种把亚裔群体描绘成 个个都努力、学业出色、不太会惹事的刻板印象。为什 么一个听起来像夸奖的刻板印象，还是能给人压力，也 让他们的挣扎更难被看见？ 我们会聊这些看法怎么塑造 人们被对待的方式，还有被同时看成“很成功”又“仍 然是个外人”是什么感觉。谁会被问“你到底是从哪儿 来的”？一个文化上的想当然，什么时候会给你打开一 扇门，又是什么时候会悄悄关上一扇？会有很坦诚的故 事、让人意外的真相，也有机会重新想想我们对太平洋 两岸的人都有哪些想当然。你不需要在国外生活过，也 不用懂北美历史。欢迎所有问题和视角，也没人需要代 表一整个文化说话。 DTSTAMP:20261115T010910Z LOCATION:静安区\, 大田路129弄1-1号嘉发大厦A栋\, Shanghai SUMMARY:Model Minority?
