Ok we all have stereotypes about ethnic groups, but now a question arises regarding the so called "overachieving asians"
, a lot of the asian overachievers are primarily the sons and daughters of first generation asian immigrants parents. Mow of course stereotypes have origins and truth to them but they still can be false. So my question is, do second or fourth generation Asian parents raise their children with as much vigor and sternness as their first generation counterparts?

I think a great problem in the world is that in the US "Asian = Asian = Asian," and no consideration is taken for those who come from poorer parts of Asia where the emphasis is on subsistence in all rural areas, not on education. I think this leads to enormous disparity because those who come to the U.S. from Asian nations with a generally lower socio-economic status are not more likely to get scholarships because they are still just "Asian" and all Asians are smart and overachieving.

I have no idea about your question though.

My kid will find cure for cancer while playing violin with his left hand and playing piano with his right while setting the world record for a 100 m sprint.

So yes.

Depends on the success of the 2nd generation I guess... iunno but I would think that if you realized that being an overachiever brought you success you might teach it to your children, but obviously you would remember when you were annoyed by being forced to do blah blah... interesting question

When I was a kid, I hated it when my parents told me to do extra math problems on the weekends... but then at some point in your life, you realize how much you benefited from those hours spent when you were young.

I think it's worth it, so I'll make sure some of that shit is forced into my kids too, maybe even more, so he can be better than me in every way.

So yes.

he will then pilot a big fucking robot into the sky and stop a war between his race and the humans, to which there will be a sequel series that is a mirror copy of the first series and be a big fucking letdown

Disdain? more like disgust and rightly so. fucking bananas

There is a Chinese saying which goes something like this: success never past 3 generations. In 2 generations, your kids will eat the same american food, think in american, have american wives and you will make mad money and spoil your kid because he think he is special.

Then it will go downhill from there.

I have no idea about your question though.

If in the U.S, people give favorable advantages and arbitrarily/ stupidly decide which race of immigrants can come from what country while basing an entire region of people and their abilities on stupid ambigous stereotypes then I have lost all faith in the U.S. This has to explain how Bush got into office for two terms and also why Ron Paul didn't win the republican nomination as he was the most sane of all the candidated the republicans has to offer. This also explains why U.S society is primitive compared to other developed nations, and why we are trllions of dollars in debt and why there are still retarded people who think Bush is doing a good job, and also why we have actaul people believing creationism in this country.

Sounds to me that you lost your faith in the U.S. a long time ago.... let me see.... you call the U.S. society primitive compared to other developed nations, you point out that the U.S. is trillions of dollars in debt and you call the majority of U.S. voters (well majority in 2004 :/) retarded and think that the U.S. president is doing a bad job and yet you retain faith in the country? only this trivial thing about asians pushes you over the edge and you simply give up? I find that hard to believe.
(Just a pet peeve of mine when people do that. Like when people have already given up on the US and then go "This makes me lose all faith in the US" and when these people happen to love RP that amplifies the effect)
