[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg Zara Gary and her entire family are Trump loving, immigrant hating hypocrites. Her shtick based on Indian mom stereotypes is so tired and pathetic. Her daughter gushes over Usha Vance, saying she made it permissible for Indian women to date white men. Hideous! [/quote]

I'm not a  Zarna fan but is what she's saying about her experience at HM valid? That's what I want to understand. [/quote]

I posted above about my DS having a great experience at HM. We don't find favoritism to be a thing there, and overall the community has been warm, supportive, and friendly.

Zarna's experience is valid for Zarna, and she clearly has strong feelings about it. It's also clear that she had specific expectations about college placement, and I would offer that being hyper-focused on just a handful of "acceptable" colleges as the end goal is probably not a great platform from which to make decisions about your child's education.

If you're looking at HM for your DC, go on a tour and try to assess for yourself how you feel about the school and how your child may or may not thrive there.[/quote]

Well, she is not unlike most Indians in chasing prestige as the only viable outcome.
So her priorities and expectations would definitely be different than another parent who has different priorities and expectations for the HM experience.[/quote]

It's only bad when the brown people do it. [/quote]

No, I can’t stand it no matter the race. Some of us are thrilled with Middlebury and Michigan. The parents who are Ivy or bust are exhausting. [/quote]

And yet you specifically mentioned her ethnicity - I wonder why. [/quote]

I wasn’t that poster. There are parents like that of all races, though I do agree with the poster, first generation Indian American parents have a higher likelihood of that attitude. There’s a middle ground - not hanging on the coattails of your families money but also not being so intense nobody with any social likeness wants to spend time around you. [/quote]
