Stereotypes In Chemistry Class

How about the all Asia people look alike stereotype, I can say, I’ve insulted quite a few Asians as well as embarrassed myself when I mix up one Asian person for another. Just this semester, I has math class with an Asian girl, I noticed at the end of the day, I also saw her in my chemistry class. Towards the middle of the semester, I realized I would need help in math as well as her notes from chemistry on the days I won’t be attending.
