| It is presumptuous of you to assume those kids are miserable. |

| My best friend for ten years grew up in a household like that. He was definitely miserable. And now he's a drug addict! |

I feel like common sensibility is on my side if you were to ask someone if they'd be happy or sad placed under the lifestyle she outlines. If we're both basing our stances on conjecture, at least mine is plausible. _________________ Last edited by God on Fri Apr 05, 33 4:00 am; edited 1 time in total |

| I have no particular assumptions that people at large know what would make themselves happy. |

People wonder why there are no prominent Asian actors in Hollywood and why movies like 21 and Avatar: The Last Gay Fucking Bullshit are so whitewashed. It's because when a young Chinese boy expresses an interest in acting, his parents scold him and force him to play an instrument, then scold him again because he chose the harmonica. _________________ Last edited by God on Fri Apr 05, 33 4:00 am; edited 1 time in total |

That woman is stupid. It's acceptable to play the cello, too. And if the family is classy enough, the viola is also an option. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |

| Yeah, I'm curious what her rationale is for that. Maybe she figures brilliant pianists and violinists are more employable and prestigious? |

If she was right, shouldn't there be a lot more Asian concert musicians than there already are? _________________ Last edited by God on Fri Apr 05, 33 4:00 am; edited 1 time in total |

She's an idiot that probably doesn't actually know very many Chinese people. She probably lives in a heavily white area, which is why she married a white man instead of her Chinese mother whoring her out to Chinese boys that get good grades and are studying medicine.
There is also no shortage of Asian actors.
What strikes me about her article is that her children sound more like underachievers than overachievers. Basically all she can say about them is that they are good at playing an instrument (and apparently they have a very narrow range in that regard), and get A's in all of their classes. That's not impressive. Getting A's in everything is such a low standard. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |

During the 2008 Olympics, I was so horrified as the American television announcers gleefully and reverently described the training process of the Chinese girls' gymnastics team: how they were essentially sold off to gymnastics schools before they were old enough to even understand the concept, much less decide whether or not they wanted to involve themselves in it, and how the girls would later tearfully beg their parents to take them back home, since the schools were so strict.
The announcers really said that last part. They said it smiling, like it was a cute thing a child does.
But then, China won the event, so I guess it was totally the right thing to do, huh!!!! _________________ Last edited by God on Fri Apr 05, 33 4:00 am; edited 1 time in total |

Uh, Amy Chua is an american woman, Jason. That's why she's such a piece of shit.
It's pathetic how ALDP will stick up for even child abuse provided it's done by an american woman. This is evidence of radical feminist bias

That actually sounds really great and I wish I went through that sort of process.
Canada is very averse to spending money on people that have an aptitude for things, and instead prefers to spend it on people that are bad at things. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |

classroom teachers, or at least professors are the fuckscum the of the earth and I despise servile asian attitudes towards formal education. Asians are submissive bitches and that's why nobody likes them.

Americans base the Asian academic superiority perception on a biased group: those who have immigrated. Everyone yellow (and incidentally also everyone with brown skin and a moustache) looks like a superhero because their parents are applying their natural Chinese assholeness (thanks for standing where I'm jogging and screaming Chinese at each other, ancient faggots) to their ambition of status.
Which is sensible, but maybe Rice can tell us that Chinese non-emigrants are even more powerful and China is the island of demons. |

| Peter, you can hardly fault Chinese people for standing in front of your fridge, in front of a Mcdonalds, or in front of THE dildo factory. |

| I still haven't heard anything to convince me that Chinese mothers AREN'T superior for the reasons outlined in this article. Also the daughter didn't say anything that would imply she rejects feminism. |
