tell me what you believe this cartoon is trying to say. do you agree or disagree with this idea? try and look at this from two different perspectives. what is your perspective? what would be an adult/teacher's perspective?

this cartoon is showing different stereotypes as far as education goes around the world. one perspective is agreeing with these stereotypes, and attempting to enforce them. (ex - all asians are good at math, all indians are good and the sciences, and all americans are lazy and not good at any subject). however, my perspective is different. i think this is a pretty racist cartoon. this is not because i'm american and i don't want to be viewed as lazy and uneducated - i also believe it's racist to assume all asians are good at math, etc. the perspectives of adults and teacher will vary, depending on the person. again, some will believe this is true while other believe this is a racist and ignorant way to look at things.
