based on what people hear asians are better at everything lol. but i do think those are just stereotyping. what i CAN say is that because all the games start over there the gaming community is larger. so in a way there is kind of truth in this one. i mean if you look in israel... no one knows who zelda is and thats sad .

Yeah, stereotypical. But, a true stereotypical truth is that Koreans are SO GOOD in StarCraft. Yeah... But I'm asian and I'm bad at Battlefield 3.

You just managed to make it.

Doubtfully. Never heard that stereotype besides gaming being an actual sport in one/some of the Asian countries, which is amusing but might also be taking the concept too far.
There is simply more to win, just like there is more to win in being a manga-ka or being a businessman and what not.
Considering the culture in some(?) of the Asian countries, people there are going to have an enormous success rate against a good bunch of the Western countries.
But that is most likely not translating well to people of Asian descent but with a Western culture. But what do I know.

No is the answer. Asians aren't any better or worse at anything. The only race of Human beings in the world that has any advantage over another is actually Africans, because they are genetically better athletes.

True story.

No offense to asians, but you took over a lot. Even our musical instruments. I mean sure they're great at it, but instead of just playing how bout you actually compose.
In terms of gaming, aye they're better, but one can't help be good at what you make, considering the Japanese make many games.

I don't think they aren't 'gifted' at gaming its just because they play so much that they are good but I guarantee they can't just pick up a game and annihilate it like people seem to think.

Perhaps the stereotype of people from Asian descent being better at so many things than people of other nationalities comes from the idea of discipline that is observed in many Asian cultures. It isn't that they're necessarily smarter than everybody else, they're just more motivated to succeed and therefore less likely to give up until they've reached what they feel is their maximum potential.

That's just what I believe prompted the stereotype.

Oh, and do Russians fit in this category too? Since some of them are technically in Asia.

but if its israel then we are probably the worst gamers overall. pretty much nobody here knows anything about video games

Russians. A people who are warlike but didn't attack the south, more the west. They're language is full of V's and R's and L's, and they're written word isn't completely unlike ours. Asians; language often full of sounds that differ slightly but can mean the difference between mother and horse. They're languages, apart from korean, are extremely complicated.
I think it's safe to say we're not including russians =D

Compose; to create, invent, enact. Generally applies to music, but can be used poetically for other things that involve creating.

I'm Korean, and i havent got a clue as to what Starcraft is... but its really not true that we asians are excellent at video games. We are about as good as the next guy. :P
