Hunt:

This is not an Asian issue–it is an “immigrant striver” issue. The same thing was observable in Jewish immigrant families in the past, and it’s observable in immigrants from non-Asian countries (such as many Africans) as well.

Except this stereotype is very frequently applied to Asian families in Asia as well. If it’s common among African immigrant families, that makes it even more disturbing, since it certainly hasn’t become a cultural stereotype for that group.
