To certain Asian parents: For years, you've been trying to discourage your kid from associating with my kid -- just because she isn't Asian and therefore you could never be sure whether she was serious about academics. Well, guess what? She got into an academic magnet program, just like your kid. She has an A average, just like your kid. She's a National Merit Finalist, just like your kid. And she's going to a top college, just like your kid. If you had ever looked at her as an individual, you would have realized that she wasn't going to corrupt your kid by setting an example of academic sloth; she has always been your kid's academic peer. But you could never see beyond the green eyes and the brown hair. |
