[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ My White kid is also graduating from TJ this year. No legacy admissions lined up (anywhere I would want my kid to attend). Saving like heck to pay college, but still needed in state or merit.  My kid went through the Carson feeder pipeline and I used to like and defend the Asian parenting mentality.  Kids work hard, focus on education, parents are actively involved, kids stay out of trouble. It was a peer group I wanted for my own kids. I still think the kids make great peers.

But TJ opened my eyes to how racist and clannish many Asian parents are. There is a definitely a Master Race/ superior culture/ unwillingness to consider American cultural norms/ sense of academic entitlement going on with many of the that is disturbing. Like PP.

The academics at TJ are first rate. The kids are first rate.  A lot of their parents are not.  I think it has done my kid good to have the experience of being a minority. I think seeing how some of the “adults” like PP has been very eye opening to him.  I find it disgusting. I certainly am much less comfortable with Asian parents and Asian parenting than I was 4 years ago.  Then again, so are many of the Asian kids talking in the backseat of my car during carpools.

It wasn’t very kind of you to subject your DC to this. Asia’s are unapologetically racist at TJ. [/quote]
