Well you certainly seem willing enough the accept the generosity of this country when it comes to jobs, schools and a safe living environment.[/quote]

Yeah! I am certainly willing to accept everything this country has to offer because this country does not belong to Whites. I will happily go back to my home country when Native Americans ask everyone to leave and when all possible restitution has been made to all countries who were colonized by Whites and all the races that were enslaved by Whites.

Now, how do you like them apples?[/quote]

You have issues.  [/quote]

Absolutely. I have issues with racist stereotyping. I think I also have issues with some scumbag telling me that as a "foreign born" naturalized American (and mother of American citizens)that I have to tow some White person's idea of what freedom of speech is.

I also have issues with White Americans trying to claim "reverse racism" when they are given a dose of their own medicine.  Watch this to understand why this does not work -

I have issues with people having issues with the fact that I focus on my kid's education.  I have issues with the fact that I am now feeling compelled to defend my community and parenting style - not because I am a neglectful mom, who is snorting cocaine and letting my kids do whatever they want to BUT because I am actually an involved parent who is doing my best to raise a child who will be a contributing member of the society.

I however do not have any issues with unsheathing my claws and taking some swipes now and then. Tiger moms are on the top of the food chain in the jungle - FYI![/quote]

PP.  I am a foreign born Asian mom who does not have tutor for my kids.  There are racists on both sides, let's not kid ourselves.  Some people who have negative views on extra tutors for kids and such are not racist, and some clearly are.   I don't think most parents here have issues with parents focusing on education.  It is when parents *only* focus on education at the detriment of everything else that people start judging...and yes, people here judge.   If you post on DCUM, you will get judged.  If you are not pushy with your kids and your kids are well-rounded, then you shouldn't feel the need to defend yourself.

I know what the Asian culture is like, and some of it is not so great.  The emphasis on only academics is not healthy.  Maybe this is required in most Asian countries, but that is not the case here.  Your kids and my kids have an immense opportunity here, both academically and otherwise, that they may not have in our home countries.  Let's take advantage of these opportunities to let the kids be kids for just a bit.  We are talking about ES kids here.  Rigorous academia is just around the corner.  When it really counts, that's when the Tiger Mom needs to come out.[/quote]
