Battle hymn of the tiger mother

<p>Typical white washed trash exploiting their non-existent Asian culture to attract attention …</p>

<p>[In</a> China, Tiger Mother Amy Chua’s is “American Mom” - China Real Time Report - WSJ](<a href=“In China, Tiger Mother Amy Chua's is 'American Mom' - WSJ”>In China, Tiger Mother Amy Chua's is 'American Mom' - WSJ)</p>

<p>"The Chinese edition’s title translates to “Being a Mom in America,” or, as Xinhua rendered it, “Being an American Mum.”</p>

<p>LMAO.</p>

<p>I definitely think parents should be involved in their child’s life- this is my major criticism for western parenting. But still, this “traditional” Asian parenting style is complete bullocks.</p>

<p>From what I understand, it’s not that western parents don’t want their children succeed. But rather, they want their children THEMSELVES to want to succeed. If their child themselves wants to study hard and get a good job, most western parents would actively encourage that. If a child wants to be a football player or a musician, the western parents would actively encourage that as well. </p>

<p>It is this emphasis on personal passion that sets the parenting styles apart. At Cal and here at NYU law, I hate to say it, but most of the Asians and Indians work hard only for the sake of getting good grades and getting a good job. They don’t have a passion for learning, and will not give a crap about a class after having taken the final. This is not true with most of the “intelligent” white (mostly jewish) people I’ve met. A lot of them talk to me about economics, mathematics, politics, psychology, other issues even after they have taken a class. Most Asians work hard but don’t enjoy doing so- they seem to prefer their social life to their academic life.</p>
