Stereotypes to indeed exist for a reason. However, the populations being looked at have a very large sample size. A deviation of just 1% would refer to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. It would be unfair to treat those deviants according to the rest of the 99%.

All pigs are equal, but some pigs are more equal than others.

So what's funny about what you wrote is that I'm half Asian. White/Japanese

My white mom is the one that acts like the Asian parent. She gave me mad shit about not getting A's growing up and when she found out I joined the military. Told me I was throwing my life away and that I should have gone to medical school or law school. Meanwhile, my dad who's Japanese as in straight up from the land of the rising sun. In his broken ass English told me and I quote "You're a mans, you do what men's do. Don't wolly about smarr things. Your mader, like bomb. Always angry. But me, I'm ok" which I'm assuming meant as long as I was happy and doing ok. He was ok.

You're painting with a broad brush there. Yes, different cultures have generally different parenting styles, the Asian academic pressure is real, Asia is a big place though. Are we saying everyone with Asian ancestry has been pressed to get straight 'A's all their life? What about the white kids who grew up to get straight 'A's? There's probably a few blacks who didn't grow up in the ghetto stealing cars (I'm pretty sure!).

Different cultures have developed their own way for reasons, culture is the result of environment. The expectations you listed are indeed stereotypes about parenting styles, and the worldview of cultures has been gradually shaped for generations. Certainly some cultures prize intellect or societal standing over others, and some cultures are more accepting of teen pregnancies, those will interplay with the education of that culture's population.

There are large populations of people who adhere to the identities and expectations of their cultural heritage, but there aren't fences holding people in. Culture continues to change as our communication increases, and we all get to see what works, as it changes our collective worldview.

Racism is the issue right now because there is a lot of money and power at stake, and dividing people up and playing sides is how they can benefit. They like to perpetuate all the stereotypes about these cultures, and proliferate the divisive ideas. Media men sensationalize news and drive the false narratives that they're paid to. Con men rake in money while agitating race relations.

Remember we all bleed red so we must all be equal!

That's not true, all men are created equal.
