America is actually a completely amoral country. The patriotism we talk about is only the rantings of MAGA White supremacists.   MAGA hates immigrants and racial minorities are not given a fair chance in this country.

American values is all about making a buck. And Eileen Gu's values are the best of American values.

Of course, her hard work and [b]her mother's sacrifices[/b] are  a result of the best of Chinese family culture so it was appropriate that she honored her background by playing for China.  Besides, China is smart, strategic, influential and not broke like USA.  I expect her career and earnings will sky-rocket in the future with her China connection.

Ah, the Asian parent "sacrifice".
What exactly did her mother sacrifice that countless other parents haven't done for their own children?
If a Chinese parent works, it's a sacrifice for the child.
If a Chinese parent stays-at-home, it's a sacrifice for the child.
If a Chinese parent takes her child to sports practice, it's a sacrifice.

All these "sacrifices" are simply called parenting in other cultures. Asian "sacrifice" language is a tool for manipulating guilt on the children.

Eileen Gu's mother likely failed to obtain her MRS degree and at the ripe age of 40 cast about for a sperm. There are lots of women like this who, at the closing of their fertile window, make desperate and drastic choices to be a single parent. Her mother seems to have amassed a high number of various US degrees prior to finally settling on a profession - killing time in school? Like Alysa Liu's father, she made an engineered choice about the donor's traits and features. But unlike [b]Alysa Liu[/b], it seems Eileen Gu was brought up with solid grounding, wide exposure to worlds outside of her sport and a loving multi-generational family.

Alysa Liu seems fine and happy I don’t see what point you are trying to make. [/quote]

Of course she is.
And I am sure she'd be happier if she could control her presentation enough for a major brand to find in her a reliable spokesperson and public figure. Right now, the possibilities are Manic Panic hair dye and companies that sell dental Grillz.[/quote]
