I'd argue: no. There's more to life than money and academic achievement, and good parents will convey that to their kids. Nobody needs billions of dollars to be happy. I taught myself programming because I enjoyed it, and now I have a job that I enjoy (that happens to pay really well as well).

You completely missed my point. I was saying that singling out so called 'Asians' parents itself is racist. There are white parents who are doing it. There are black parents who are doing it. There are whatever parents are doing it. There are competitive parents everywhere

Especially when they are talking about California where the silicon valley sits, maybe check out the bigger picuture before pinning it on some races?
