[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of AA and Latino children can not win.  If they ask for something for their kids, they're "entitled".  Now, if they take "no" for an answer they're neglectful.  [/quote]

Pretty much. [/quote]

You are overthinking this.  Asian parents don't give a shit about whether they look entitled or not... that is why they aren't afraid to ask.  
Do what's right for your kid.  Stop thinking about how you look.[/quote]

This.  People are going to judge no matter what you do, if they are that way inclined.  Asian parents get bashed for prepping all the time.  The Asian parents I know are open about it and say that being prepared and studying is a part of our culture, and that applies to everything.  No excuses.  They are content knowing their kids are getting the best that the county has to offer.  They don't care if people thing their kids are over-prepped.  They are laughing all the way to TJ.  [/quote]

There’s plenty of Asian American parents on this forum so you don’t have to speak for us. In fact, please don’t do it anymore. Prepping is not part of our culture, regardless of what you think you may of heard once from a random person or two. We are a diverse group of people and don’t need you spreading your prejudices as fact. [/quote]

This - I am an Asian mom and I don't do any test prepping and not TJ obsessed and none of my Asian friends either.  We laugh when white people make that kind of generalization about us.  [/quote]
