Asian families typically push their children to do well much more and much harder than the average family. Generally, anything less than perfect is unnacceptable. They are also pushed to go to the best schools, like UCLA, Berkeley, Stanford.

Dude, if you hate their driving, don't ever drive around in China! People will cut you off like crazy and change 3 lanes within one signal light to another during rush hour.

i have to admit i've been to china once and i sat in a cab
i thought i would die that day. i swear i almost ****ed my pants
and he kept telling me, don't worry u don't have to wear ur seat belt
i was like woooooooooooord
i m pure 100% chinese so are my parents
but hey erm... they don't really care if i get into cal poly or riverside, they were actually amazed i made it to CC
i dun think asian families push their children after their late teens
i think we are driven by competition by our surroundings, like if everyone around u is like hella smart... u wanna be hella smart too...
so its more like a chain reaction domino effect.

oh oh oh... the "smart asian" stereotype is actually not very true
its cuz they really put effort into every detail. your typical "smart" asians don't sleep in class. its more of discipline and respect for the teacher, and to the educational institution and not let them down, its more like a moral duty.
well to put it in easier terms, we don't **** around lol
if u actually give the "smart azns" IQ tests i think most will get screwed.

don't misunderstand i m not one of the "smart" ones... i don't work hard and i don't get screwed on IQ tests. i m laaaaaaaaaaaaazy
