Going-To-The-Dogs?: 2nd-Gen Asian-Americans? Fall from Grace?

Going-To-The-Dogs?: 2nd-Gen Asian-Americans? Fall from Grace?


Dear Folks, 

When Asians take their children to America, do they REALLY KNOW what is in store for their fine offspring?

I think they have no clue. I think they believe the myths and the hyperbole, and the misinformation about the American School System, and the Land of Opportunity.

Instead, what do they meet in places like LA?

Garbage Black Prison Culture?

Although, some of the young things seem to enjoy the Black Studs….up until after the first year of marriage, and then they realize it was all just a heavenly dream.

Would you send your beloved children to the USA for schooling, beginning in late elementary or first year Junior High School?

REALLY?

Why don’t they just stay where they are?

They could be happier.

The grass is NOT greener in America.

This is a myth.


So, would you send your kids to the USA, to live in home-stay, while they become brainwashed, as we can see from this uplifting….

What are the parents even thinking?

Best regards,

Note: For some reason, and quite often, YT Videos, and also images, do not easily load properly into the Original Topic, or into subsequent comments.

This is unfortunately and cumbersome.

The only workaround seems to be to add the links a 2nd or 3rd time....

HENCE, obviously, the need to Add the Link here, in a subsequent reply, instead of where it should be.

Oh, well, one cannot have EVERYTHING, I guess.

It seems that what I had thought should have been CRYSTAL CLEAR, meaning the MEANING of the text in the OP, is actually NOT clear to at least one member who finds the meaning "unclear".

Therefore, please let me clarify using more academic language, which is actually NOT a bad idea, since most Chinese families desire their offspring to do well academically and become fine upstanding family members, respecting ancestors, and so forth....

Here is the clarification:

Textual Deconstruction: Emigration and Cultural Assimilation

Core Concept of PostThe original post argues against the practice of Asian parents sending their children to the United States for education. The central thesis asserts that the perceived benefits of American society are illusory, and that emigration exposes youth to detrimental cultural influences.

Argument Deconstruction

  • Expectation Versus Reality: The author claims that Asian parents rely on misinformation and hyperbole regarding the superiority of the American educational system and the broader concept of the "Land of Opportunity."

  • Cultural Assimilation Risks: The text asserts that second-generation immigrant youth often assimilate into undesirable American subcultures rather than achieving intended academic or socioeconomic goals. The original text relies on explicit racial stereotypes and derogatory characterizations to define these subcultures.

  • Interpersonal Dissatisfaction: The author argues that cross-cultural romantic relationships formed within this environment are transient and ultimately lead to regret.

  • Conclusion: The text concludes that the risks of cultural integration in the United States outweigh any educational benefits. The author advocates that students remain in their native countries to ensure greater long-term stability and happiness.

How could the original post not be crystal clear?

I remain quite puzzled.

Most of those who had graduated from junior high school could easily read and understand the OP, with complete clarity.

Go figure....as they say....

What misinformation about the schools? They're a hundred times better.

My school owner friend here, in the school system for 50 years here and trained in the US for English, before coming back and opening his school, which is country known, told me, which I already knew, my daughter will do much better living in America, with it's better schools, living conditions, safer driving, and a better chance to find a better mate, and he's a 72 year old Thai man.

Every Thai woman I know back in the states said they'll never return to Thailand, as they have a much better life there.

That up to 65% or more of school girls here are molested by age 17 shows what goes on here, whereas it's less than 10% in America, and is reason enough not to leave girls here. I wouldn't leave my daughter here for any reason, as I care about her too much.

The Buddhist culture looks at women as secondary, which Americans don't unless they are the few misogynists there, who are easily avoided. Here it's impossible.

Others here have sent their children to America for schooling, and they've stayed to work afterwards.
