Would-Be Ivy League Student Arrested-Threatened To Kill Mom

Applying to College

<p>An article on the HuffPo College Section about a 17-year old lady who put a gun to her mother</p>

<p>Here's the link:
Ivy</a> League Hopeful Rachel Anne Hochero Pistol-Whipped, Threatened To Kill Mom For Car</p>

<p>This girl seems to have severe emotional problems
Is it just me or do Asian-Americans seem to have a propensity to overworking their working. With the stories of the TigerMom, etc , I think this has become a really disturbing trend. Not to generalize but you would hardly hear such a story about an African-American Child,etc</p>

<p>This is an isolated event rather than “the norm.” I don’t think we have much to worry about for other Asian Americans becoming like this.</p>

<p>Were she african american or something, everyone would just brush it off as another incidence but because she’s Asian, some think that it’s because of a TigerMom lifestyle? Ehh. Don’t buy it.</p>

<p>I don’t think Hochero is an Asian name… I’d guess Hispanic.</p>

4

<p>that would be a great thread. “will I be rescinded for pistol whipping my mom? please help!!”</p>

5

<p>^…win.!! ^</p>

6

<p>Yes. This is definitely because she’s Asian! Asians are very prone to point guns at their parents and force them to by them a used car.</p>

7

<p>Makes me wonder which ivy league school accepted this pistol-whipping wack job…</p>

8

<p>way to go…generalize it to all asians.</p>

9

<p>I thought she was Filipino when i first saw her picture. That would account for the Hispanic name. However, no generalizations should be made in a case where there are clearly mental health issues involved; this can happen in any family.</p>

10

<p>I know. Just because someone looks asian doesn’t mean they are.</p>

11

<p>

</p>

<p>And seriously, when do you ever hear a story like this!?!?!?!</p>

12

<p>i have to agree with midwesterner; i’d say she’s filipino. she doesn’t look east asian, and plus she has a spanish last name.</p>

13

<p>o__O WHY DOES RACE MATTER AT ALL IN THIS EQUATION? This is -one- person, -one- incident in a wild, insane world of infinite possibilites. I really don’t see what race has to do with it.</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>Same here. However, these types of generalizations/stereotypes happen a lot. I remember being accused of being a thief in a store because of the strong racial stereotypes in my community. That hurt me so much . . .</p>

<p>^ right, but if Pilipina, though the genetics are Malay, the culture is mostly Spanish/Catholic.</p>

<p>Is this a post about Hispanic craziness?</p>
