[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, call them tiger cub strivers instead. The word isn't the problem, it's the bigotry. [/quote]

Who is the bigotry against?[/quote]

A tiger mom is someone who is strict and pushes their child. An Asian woman went viral calling herself a tiger mom.

Then people started using it for all Asian moms, [b]but in reality it has nothing to do with being Asian[/b][/quote]

But it has everything to do with parents who act like "tiger moms."  And Amy Chua, who coined the term, and was proud to call herself a tiger mom as if it was a badge of honor.  There are people of all ethnicities who think like her. I guess this one is banned too?[/quote]

She did not coin the term. The term existed way before she was even born. She used it to promote herself. She didn’t think it was negative.

[b]None of the words we are talking about our banned. Jeff does bad words, but none of those are banned[/b].[/quote]

Great. So gunner, gunner, gunner. Hey, we're not talking about shooting real bullets folks, but just very, very competitive students
