I'm Asian-American myself although the comments made by the parents don't really seem to bother me. I really understand the concerns made by those parents. I honestly admit that we have a problem with a lot of Asian kids being over pressured by their parents. Those problems are mainly found though with new Asian immigrants.

Agreed. My SIL once commented that a parent told their child who was not admitted to an ivy league school that they were a failure.
