LOL? this is considered racist? it's just a stereotypical way of typing something in an asian accent.. and it's a stereotype for a reason because it can be true a lot

It does seem to be more of a stereotype than racism, but the ban still makes sense in its own way. Not going to argue with it.

Despite the irony that is the racist stereotype, it's pretty fucked up to actually abandon your child due to a bad grade. I mean, if they were the average 2012 youth, in which they don't even try or care for education, it'd still be out of question. It's your fucking kid for crying out loud, who can actually just abandon their own child and be okay with it?

C is failing in my book.

This is my attitude too. I hate getting Cs now with my newfound motivation to do better. I've got almost straight A's this school year with one B in either my Rhetoric or Psychology class.
I feel bad even when I get a B because I know I could have gotten an A.

I wouldn't call it racism as such, it's just stereotyping. It's a well known fact that education and academic success is very highly valued in Asian cultures - those jokes or comments about having hard ass, demanding Asian parents aren't without basis in reality, there's a great deal of truth to them.

Kids in western cultures don't really have such a great deal of pressure put on them to perform well academically compared to those in Asian cultures, so it's not unreasonable to presume the guy in question would be Asian. Sure, it COULD have been a white dad, or a black dad, but it was probably more statistically likely that he'd be Asian (and lo and behold he is Asian!).

It's essentially like making some joke about watermelon in a thread about a black person, or saying that a woman should get back to the kitchen. They're rooted in racism and sexism, respectively.

But the problem I'm seeing with this is that education and academic success IS incredibly important in Asian cultures. I don't really think that's up for debate. I'm sure a white kid who grew up in a traditional Asian household would probably perform better academically than if the same kid had grown up in your regular western household simply because there's more riding on academic success in one culture compared to the other. It's got nothing to do with the colour of their skin, it's got to do with the culture that they've grown up in.

And it's unsurprising to me that most people who had a traditional Asian-oriented cultural upbringing are Asian, hence why it seemed fairly likely that the article would be about an Asian person.

Well if it were a story about a black guy dying of watermelon overconsumption, I could see the temptation. Probably wouldn't go for it though, I don't really get the whole black people loving watermelon thing.

People make Chinese Parent jokes for the same reason they make Fat American jokes and Posh Brit jokes. It's more about the culture than the skin tone methinks.


Not that there aren't people to whom it is about the skin tone. But then there's always that guy.

With the charges, authorities alleged Huynh abandoned the 16-year-old girl at Cheltenham Avenue and Washington Lane, near the Cheltenham Square Mall, after she received a bad grade in a calculus course.

“She was devastated. She wandered quite a ways looking for help. Fortunately, she encountered a minister who stayed with her and called police,” McMenamin said.

ur da worst mod lmao my butt would do a better job and my butt is retarded im not kidding

what sltungle said is still considered racism by (all of) your conservative 'oo be careful what u say' mindset but because its in fancy words its not banworthy? lol!!
ive yet to see a ban in an asian thread where theyre callin caucasians clacka white boiiis i guess thats not racism huh so not banning for that is effectively racist

ur a racist and a bad mod thats my distilled answer do something useful with it

Edited:

on topic; maybe the father was trying to teach the kid a lesson and maybe she slacked enormously on studying, if i wanted to be a pianist i would do fuck all for math either. i'd ditch my 16 year old (old enough unless you're mentally handicapped or something) on a crossroad for a couple of hours as well that'd scare the shit outta him/her. when i was young i threatened my parents with running away cause they punished me for bad grades and they just helped me pack my bags and set me off - i got buttfuck scared and studied well ever since

I'm glad that's not my dad, he'd have kicked both me and my older sister out since we're both shit at maths.

actually racism is when someone discrimates between people of different races, discrimination is just the umbrellla-term for basically things that are like racism but with/without the race; you don't need to think one is superior to the other to be racist. as far as I know, almost everyone is fairly racist on a subconscious level anyway.
