, 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 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 | ||

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 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. 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) | ||
