crazy chinese mother

Someone brought up "the tiger mother controversy" in class tonight and it took me minutes....minutes...before I realized what he was talking about. During those minutes I imagined a rascally lactating tiger.

it says 秋鸿春...

assuming it's from the ci poem: 一番雨过，江头绿涨，催唤扁舟解去。重来言语是相宽，怎得似、而今且住。 阳关声断，同心未绾，簌簌泪珠无数。秋鸿春燕往还时，莫忘了、锦笺分付。

Might bitchslap this lady on the T who is trashing new haven #SoSorry #DidntKnowYouOrderedAMaximumSecurityPrincessPalace #MyBad

that seems like a pretty accurate description of new haven?

Note: Lulu and I had Uglydolls before they became kitschy. Like, before they turned Trey into a girl.

Thank you, occupy Boston, for keeping me out of my room and library tonight. I'm sure the policemen you're keeping awake appreciate it too

When I was little, my mom told me never to complain about anti-Asian discrimination. “It’s the easiest stereotype to overcome,” she pointed out. “If you don’t like the model minority stereotype, all you have to do is get a nose ring.” And indeed, today, Asians in America are successfully outgrowing the model minority fable. But the stereotype is changing much faster than the population; the stereotype has become amorphous, all-encompassing, and practically impossible to overcome. And even when exceptions are identified, I’m not sure they should be. Why does Jeremy Lin have to be the exception to the rule? Why can’t he just be a posterchild for everything awesome and empowering about this (our) generation of rule-breaking Asian-Americans?

Anyways, that’s my rant of the month. By the way, I mean rule-breaking in a broad sense. Of course we still do our homework. Oh, and Jeremy Lin...here’s my number, so call me maybe?

The pushy parent had brought only a chocolate bar and a cup of water for rations, thinking there would be shops en route.

He soon realised that, 'unlike a lot of Chinese mountains', Fuji does not have steps, according to Chinese media sources.

Yeah, I was about to post that in the race thread but since the original post asked for only Important Race Discussions and that will only bring about "yeah, what the fuck, this is dumb" reactions, I decided not to.

"triple package" is one of the worst attempted thinkmemes I've ever heard

it's interesting though that the combination of "superiority" and "insecurity" is normally described more succinctly as "narcissism." Which I do indeed believe is a common trait of the "successful."

The only thing you need to read about their new book, really

idk if ilx has discussed this elsewhere. until recently i'd totally forgotten what the tiger mom's actual job was. seems like maybe elite law schools shouldn't exist.

Durrrrr, actually she’s been really busy:

Guess Amy Chua’s high praise of Kavanaugh finally paid off. Her daughter, Sophia Chua, is now his intern at the Supreme Court. You don’t need to be a Tiger Mom to have successful kids, you just need to sell your soul and shit on women. pic.twitter.com/bWaSN4qFLu
