i'm glad to see that steppers are finally getting recognized. i'm part of an Asian American Interest Sorority, and am actually the step mistress for my chapter.
Sometimes people criticize us 'cuz they think we're biters or something. I just think that we're displaying pride...
I would like to hear from people that have experienced haters... basically trying to overcome racism in something that should be color blind...
Thanks For Your Time....

Asian and Latino groups sometimes get accused of "biting" because that is what they often do at campus events!!! Part of the history of stepping is that each group has some steps that are unique to them and others do not imitate them. Not true with many of the "newer" groups who have embraced stepping, for WHATEVER reason as their own - if an Asian organization needs an African art form to express pride, go for it, but if you steal someone elses' moves, you will be called a BITER and I just hope you are in a tame environment where the bitten group doesn't take great offense!!!
