As I asked before do we help create our own stereotypes?

Here is a video made by Filipino-American Christine Ganbito a.k.a. "Happyslip".
She is well known amongst younger generation Filipino-Americans as a Youtube celebrity. A portion of her videos are based on her family and many Filipinos relate.


This video is about Christine's family preparing to send a balikbayan box with her Lola (grandma) when she goes to the Philippines. A lot of the items in the box are the typical things that are sent. One of the Filipino stereotypes is that you can spot a Filipino at an airport because they're the ones with the massive boxes.
