[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone written Nice Asian Parents yet? Or Competitive Indian Parents? Or Demanding Russian Parents? Or are they exempt from the consequences of their parenting, which is exactly the same as UMC white people? [/quote]
The difference is that they’re faaaaar less hypocritical about it. They don’t go on and on about how black lives matter or post those “no matter where you’re from you’re welcome here” signs in front of their house or make their “liberal” political views a personality trait only to turn around and shelter their kids from poor minorities like white people in say, Bethesda or N Arlington do.

This +100. I am from one of the immigrant groups you mentioned above. My husband is not and he is a die hard liberal. This is exactly what I tell him. I am right leaving and have a lot of unpopular opinions in our house and in my extended family on my husband’s side. But at least I am honest about it. I have worked my butt off to get to where I am now and I work my butt off so my kids can have the best education and I am doing my best to lay the groundwork for a successful future/ That’s my JOB as a parent and that’s what my immigrant parents did for me. If you don’t think your job as a parent is to set high standards and prioritize development and education - fine. But then don’t bring down the rest of us with you. Fewer kids and an education is a way out of poverty (and yes, vocational education counts.) [/quote]
