Haha... to be truthful, I haven't met an Asian person yet that has computer programming skills. A lot of the Asians at my school are majoring in International Business. Several of them are studying Music/Fine Arts, and a few of them are studying oriental cultures/languages.
As far as the topic goes, I think this is an unfair stereotype. It has probably derived from that generality floating around that Asians apparently have small penises.
