[quote=Anonymous]Curious, is the other person Asian? I am Asian and this lady totally sounds like something my mom would say. She would probably criticize your eating habits and your clothes too. The thinking is that the most accessible way for immigrants to climb up the social economic ladder is to focus on education. Asians tend not to be as tall or as built as our American counterparts and even if you work out and practice everyday, there is very little chance that we will be at the top level in any sport. So why waste the money & time. With school, it's simple--study hard, practice and you'll get good grades. Good grades lead to college and then, hopefully, a good job. I wouldn't take too much into this lady. It's probably just the way she was raised. If sports works for your family then so be it. Just smile and say, "Yah, you're better off sticking with academics since little Johnny obviously isn't coordinated for sports." [/quote]
