Comment on Ask HN: Obsessive Asian Parentsparent

Comments

This was discussed in this thread, but this tends to be more of a trait of immigrant parents rather than Asian parents. I grew up in places like New York and California which was full of first-generation immigrants (mostly Asian and Middle Eastern) who had come to the U.S. to kick ass and take names academically and they were the hardest on their kids. However, if you meet second-, third-, or fourth-generation Asian-Americans in places like Hawaii or the Japanese or Cantonese-speaking parts of the Bay Area, they tend to fit the profile you describe.
