[Anonymous]

I don't think he said that. I watched the whole thing. How could have I missed that?

You didn't miss anything. He wasn't beaten.

I think he said he was abused, but wasn’t going to go into any details.

Oh please. Asians are the richest Americans for a reason. Does he want to be the only broke Asian when all his friends are engineers and doctors?

Right, so he clearly wasn't beaten. He needs to grow up, stop with the victim mentality, and move on with his life.

Oh for Pete’s sake, people! Watch from 8:29 through 8:37. Good grief - how are folks not hearing the words “I was beaten”?

I had an Asian-American coworker who complained to us that he resents his parents. Didn't understand why they didn't push him enough and gave him free will to fail, and he had to learn the hard way. No joke.

Seems like parents just can't win.

+1 I said this up thread, and to my kids all the time. Parents are in a no-win situation. So, we just do the best we can even if they complain. My DC said I should've pushed them more and ignore the whining and complaining. Yep. can't win.

Who said the goal was “winning”? What a bizarre way to think

I don't think he was comparing it to Auschwitz. He was comparing the brainwashing - the attempt to convince the oppressed that what they were going thru is a form of freedom.

My kids go to Stuyvesant and Bronx Science in NYC where there are so many classmates like this guy. The administration kind of knows about the abuse but really can't do anything about it because who wants to break up a family?

Yes. It was an extreme analogy. It's tolerable in the context of his distress.

Yeah, and he clearly didn't really want to talk about it. It is another whole world of pain to thru.

Oh, give me a break. My parents spanked me, often with a belt. But this was normal in our "southern" culture. Not good, but it didn't ruin my life. Stop being a fragile flower, cut your parents out of your life if you wish, and move on.

I think that's what he did

Just because your parents beat you with a belt doesn't mean it was right or legal. Just because you lived through something horrible doesn't mean we need to normalize it.

This kid ended up suicidal and in the hospital. But please minimize the abuse and tell him he should just get over it.

Do you tell other victims of abuse they should just get over it or is it only when your parents abuse you that it's ok.
