<p>Nothing wrong with piano or violin for the matter. It’s just that everything Asians do becomes downplayed and generalized. Hasn’t it struck you as strange just how often the label “typical” is attached to Asians? “Typical Asian Parents”. “Typical Asian Applicant”. “Typical Asian Girl”. What exactly is so typical about Asians? Not to say that there isn’t a sort of vague cultural unity across all the diverse Asians who live in the U.S., a sort of ‘different’ mentality from the west. Not to say that there are not many Asians who evidently enjoy that their parents are “typical”. But do you really think that the notion of a “Typical Asian Applicant” is fair and conducive to your being accepted to college?</p>
