Chinese moms look for someone with a graduate degree in a useful major at a school with >20% Asian+Jewish population, 3.9+ GPA, 1-2 instruments at state orchestra levels, culinary expertise in 2-3 nations, and not fat. Oh yea, coming from money helps cover up all the previous requirements.

Most non-chinese people that read this thread would probably say to the mom to stfu. What they don't understand is that there is a distinct generational gap between chinese youth today vs their parents. This is not just the age thing. This is age + social context + culture clash.
For most western people it is only the age gap that separates them from the parents in terms of understanding each other. You might have ipods, lcd tv and drive a modern car. They had tape, 17 inch crt tvs and a car from the 60s/70s. But essentially the mindset would be pretty similar.

This is completely different in to the chinese situation. Our parents grew up during the Mao's China. Cultural revolution, north koreanesque propaganda (thats where the north koreans got it from) mixed with traditional chinese beliefs (prejudice). Them trying to understand the new more open china in the framework of what they grew up with is the reason you get hilarious results like

This.

Although my parents were always pretty liberal for Asian parents--in high school, as long as we got decent grades, they let us stay out late, they didn't freak out if we dated girls, and when my mom found a bong 2nd year of college all I got was one lecture about "avoiding drugs because they could hurt your chances of finding a good job". And past graduation, they've been pretty supportive about the crazier life choices both my brother and I have pursued, such as dropping out of consulting to start a company or dropping out of trading to do poker full time for a half year.

I guess that's why their recent reaction was so surprising. It was like... "yay I was blessed with chill parents" --> "omfg why are they all of a sudden so passive-aggressive and psycho?"

Come to think of it, the one time I mentioned I was getting real friendly with a Jewish lawyer girl (who was three years older than me) was probably the only time I've seen my parents care about my romantic prospects. They were super excited, lol.

Why would your brother bring home someone who's only there for "easy lays"? That's a mistake he won't repeat again.

Because he wanted to shack up with her over the holiday? They spent a night at a hotel together.

lol it's okay kiett, you will find someone who won't pretend to be asleep if/when his parents are judging you (assuming you want to date a Chinese and/or asian dude)

she can always solve it with some creativity, $20 at her local Kinko's, plus the cost of the nice paperstock diplomas and transcripts are printed on

that, and two hours with a cookbook

lol @ "你可以嫁給任何人,只要他不黑"

Your brother should have pulled your mom aside and tell her that he's in love with this girl and hope that she would ease off. If she supported you guys with career choices, I am sure she'll support you guys in relationship choices. No parents forbid their kids from falling in love. It may take time but as long as your brother show that he is serious to your mom, she will eventually ease up.
