its interesting the show didnt seem to go the "kid with immigrant parents" route with connie especially since its a common thing for immigrant parents to be so strict both because they want their child to seize the opportunity given to them by them moving away from home and with cultures in especially asian countries being so harsh on academics.

#meeting older asian people who are 'chill'(??)/amaericanized #is NUTS like oh youre not going to be mad becayse we're breaking an outdated custom youre clinging to because its what you know?#specifically with india their education system is nutty #very cuthroat and its apparent in how they raise their kids in the states..#this goes with a lot of asian countries #edit: i’m going to amend myself with the ‘lot of asian countries’ part bc im mostly just thinking of china #and the ‘smart asian’ and ‘tiger mom’ stereotype actually does irk me because other than the fact that culture =/= homogenous population #a lot of countries aren’t so academics focused!#but you get a limited sample size when it comes to asian immigrants #bc of either the opportunity point or the fact that many of them moved BECAUSE they could get a good education #think ‘brain drain’
