Speaking as someone who grew up in an area where Asian Americans were the majority, the average Chinese kid may ultimately fare better in terms of income, but may also have unresolved mental health issues steming from the crushing parental pressure in their childhood.
- rayiner 3y agoI know Asian Americans who are jealous about not having a permissive American-style upbringing. But in reality American kids just have different shit, like instability from parents getting divorced, or getting stuck at a dead end service job because nobody ever taught them to navigate the system. America is brutal competition. Asian parenting at least prepares you for that.
