To be frank, I've heard all the positive and negative Asian stereotypes mentioned, more positive ones being Asians are "smart," "good at math," "hard-working," etc., and the bad ones being Asians are "geeks," "can't drive," "weak," "pushovers."
Every race/culture/group will have its positive and negative stereotypes. If you don't want it to affect you, break out of the stereotypes.
