>>86934061Asian Americans/Canadians are weird. I think it's because their parents don't come to the West out of individual cultural affinity but out of necessity and seeking a better life. They are usually successful, but inside the household they are still culturally Asian and pretty insular which ends up pulling the offspring in two different directions.
2nd and later generations grow up immersed in two cultures and end up as neither nor people (not disparaging).
From the standpoint of someone monocultural it comes off as a certain kind of a deep seated neurosis. I'm sure Asian parents' penchant for being overbearing also plays a role.
