So true. Amy Chua does a fantastic job of confusing career success with the important goals in life, as well as summarily stereotyping all Chinese-American families & drawing lines & divisions where they don't exist. She manages to confuse derision, belittling, and abuse with strictness & setting high standards for children. And she feeds the stereotype that the stereotypically successful Asian-American is a result of cultural values and not America's selective immigration process for businesspeople & engineers.
