He probably doesn’t speak English.

Ignorance is bliss

If he wants help he’ll ask for it.

Ignorance is bliss

Ignorance is bliss

Or so they say

He won’t need help.

It’s everyday that I see stereotypes

Being Asian comes with mixed thoughts

People think you’re smart

The model minority.

People think you know math

The model minority.

Sometimes people expect too much

And you’re devoid of socialization

People think you’re from China

The FOB.

People think you don’t know English

The FOB.

Everything is wrong.

I’m not fantastic at math.

I know English.

I need help like everybody else.

Asians are like other ethnic groups

They have the same social problems like others.

But ignorance really is bliss.

You don’t have to worry about others.

You can assume your expectations are always right.

You can ignore how others live.

You can live by what you know.

The ignorance I’ve experienced growing up,

Is what I think is flawless.
