Growing up Asian I always wondered about how our parents raised us. Read below:
WHITE PARENT: Dad wants his son to be a Football jock , however, the son is interested in Ballet instead. So the dad gets angry at his son and yells at him. The son is forced to play football to please father and is unhappy with his decision. Although he is far more talented and loves Ballet, dad wants to raise a football jock and not a sissy Ballet dancer.
ASIAN PARENT: Parents want their child to be a doctor, engineer, or lawyer, however, the child is a talented artist offered a scholorship. The child dreams of a career in art and follow their passion. However, parents get angy and threaten to disown him and say "Do you want to be poor all you life?" So the asian kid pursues a career he is not interested in or skilled at.
Why is it that whites are considered to be abusive and psycho when they want their kids to be jocks.But Asian parents are praised for doing the same thing to their kid?
