Blog 10: Motherly Love
This cartoon was similar to the readings in the previous week about Tiger Moms except this was more explicitly negative. The girl's reaction seemed internal and depicted a gamut of emotions from anger to confusion to sadness. The focus was, however, anger clearly in the title of the cartoon.
I talked to an Asian girl on my return trip to Davis this past weekend. She said how her mom called her fat and then called her skinny within 10 minutes. This is clearly because of the fact that Asian parents express such things with criticism, similarly to how Tiger Moms are highly aggressive in their motivation tactics. As a result, this yields resentment in their children. Also, this addresses how Asian people in general produce this feeling of internal resentment, potentially damaging the relationship between parent and child in the Asian American community.
Question: Will these experiences change how these Asians parent their kids?
This video depicts satirically how Asian American mothers act, including these ideas presented in the article.
