Oh yeah, all the social scientists are in agreement about the problem with the Asians? Hm, I see that you are shifting away from the race to racial ethnicity in your terminology (Asian-American). Like, I know you read (at least a review of) Tiger Mom but do you have a real source for this stuff that isn't a single autobiographical account and your own experience? This really makes you sound like you're full of shit.

>>> You are trying to silence uncomfortable facts

I'm really not uncomfortable with the fact that some of the Chinese-American friends I have are pushed really hard to "excel". What I am offended by is that you extrapolate from a similar experience to talk about all Asian people in America, "Asian values", "Asian ethics", and the "Asian mindset".

>>>"Saying anything about race is racism!! Burn the witch!!"

"She is Asian." -- Not racist. "Her family is very patriarchal." -- Not racist. "A lot of my Asian friends have overbearing fathers." -- Almost... "Asian families are very patriarchal." -- Racist. If you can't tell the difference, then quit talking about my race, fucker.

>>> Everyone on HN sees right through you.

I doubt anyone else is reading this. I just wanted to let you know that the way you speak about THE "Asian Culture" and "Asians" really offends me. Is it still unclear why? Is it clear to you why anthropologists do not produce ethnographic accounts of RACES.

>>> rock solid scientific finding of the social sciences
