High Expectations Asian Father
A spin-off of the Advice Dog internet meme, High Expectations Asian Father displays stereotypes of Asian parents. While some may find this material offensive, I find the take to be a humorous one. I can attribute this to what I call the “Facebook Like Theorem.”
Let’s take for example “X likes looking at a test and being like fuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk”
Now when I first saw that someone liked that, my immediate reaction was “WHY WOULD YOU EVER LIKE THAT.” I asked X why she/he liked that and he/she responded with “BECAUSE IT’S SO TRUE”
So this little theorem I made up, it basically says, if you can relate to it, you’re probably gonna like it. I mean I browsed through some of these things and genuinely laughed out loud, completely understanding where the poster is coming from. I also looked at some and clearly knew that it was malarkey made by some racist kid who doesn’t know what an Asian parent is like.
And knowing is half the battle!
