This is enough to call the lottery proposal a failure.

I am surprised at how this was handled.

Now, at least, people are aware of the Bamboo Ceiling. Let's look at the bright side.

And efforts to keep it fresh, clean, and intact. Also, very hard to break. Harder to break than a Glass Ceiling, perhaps?

Asian women are screwed. They have two Ceilings to break through.

None. How many schools in the US have majority Chinese enrollment?

No they have it easier than Asian men. White men like them. Asian fetish.

None because they don't study as hard as the locals. Perhaps real Americans should study harder. Just a thought.

No. Many Americans don't value spending all of our time studying. We want to live and enjoy a diverse life. There's more to life than studying and getting a high score on a test. What does that give you? You get to sit at a desk and write code for 100 hrs. per week until you retire? Is that the goal? When you're on your death bed, nobody is going to ask you how much money you made or what you scored on the SAT.

The assumption that all or most Asians are like this is absurd. Believe it or not, a lot of Asians are here for their children to have a more balanced life than their children would have had in their home countries.

If success in business was all about whether white men like you sexually, executive teams would be 98% women - the white male CEO and a bunch of hot women.

They go to Chinese school to learn Chinese on the weekend. May have a couple of extracurricular activities. May do some extra work, either with parents, in groups, or go to learning centers. If English is bad, may also have someone help there too.

Serious question here: So, after all of that studying and learning, are the kids considered a failure if they don't excel at school and get into TJ or another top high school...and then a top college? Is there a lot of competition within the Asian community to brag about where your child is going to school? Any shame among the community when the kid only gets into a "regular" school? I'd really like to understand this. Thanks.

It is all relative. I can see my kids work hard. But it is nothing compared to how I worked as a kid back in Asia. Most Asians would agree.

+1 lol

-asian woman

DH, white, and I were talking about the good ol' boys network vs affirmative action for blacks. Sectors like defense industry are dominated by white males, and it's hard enough for a woman to work in that industry. Try being a minority female. Blacks got affirmative action; white males get the good ol' boys network... where does that leave the rest including Asian women in the workplace?

I'm the ^PP you responded to... As an Asian person, I too enjoy my leisure time, and I am fine with my kids also having extra leisure time. But some people think studying more is more important. I don't tell them what they should or shouldn't do, and neither should you.

You and I don't find much value in extra tutoring but some people do. I don't find much value in buying expensive cars, purses, clothing, etc.. but some people do. I don't find much value in spending ridiculous amounts of money to see a bunch of guys throw a ball around but some people do. See how that works?

+1 Americans think the amount of effort these Asian kids are putting in here are really high. This is nothing. You should see how many hours kids in Asia actually study. Academics in the US is a lot easier than in Asia.

Now, one could argue that if they don't want that kind of competitiveness, then why are they bringing it here. The problem is one of escalation. It's not unlike athletes. If a runner beats another by 1 sec, the second place runner will practice just that extra more to get two seconds off the time. Then the other runner practices even more to get two seconds of their time. And so and so forth.

It's all relative, and it can easily escalate. When is it enough? shrug.. it's all relative.

The US is supposed to be all about merit and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Some people are trying to do that, but others who don't want to work as hard call foul on others working hard. Seems that attitude is antithetical to the US culture of "if you work hard here you can succeed".
