People create steroetypes when they do not completely understand or know much about a particular issue.
Some of Taiwanese stereotypes are:
1. Taiwan has many pretty women.
It's because actresses in Taiwanese dramas are pretty. This makes people think all Taiwanese women are pretty.
2. Stinky Tofu and Pig Blood Cake make people sick.
Stinky tofu and pig blood cake are famous snacks in Taiwan. Most of the tourists can't accept the smell of the stinky tofu. They also think pig blood cake is a strange food and most of them are not brave enough to try the cake.
3. Claustrophobia is common among Taiwanese
Taiwan is an island and most poeple live in the city. Therefore, it gives an impression that they have higher risk of getting claustrophobia then people from any other country.
4. Taiwanese people don't like China because it's a communistic country.
This happended when Taiwan wished to gain its independence since 1949.
