In an Asian household you can only be a doctor, lawyer, engineer or disgrace
And if you become a disgrace the entire family starts talking shit about you behind your back lol
omg so true. it felt like a blessing in disguise when my high school results didn't allow me to take engineering courses.

The exemption is being a teacher, then again, you'll still get don't behind their back.
"life is not a competition"
Asian parents: "no, it is"
Adiva Khafifati lol true
will 2020 change this??? ... -hope it does- !!!!
Whoever said that's a moron. Life is competition. That's how evolution works.
It's a competition in the Middle East, too.
Yes, in a way. Compete from your past self. Top off what you already have. Keep going forward and soar.
"I allow you to live here for free, stupid." - Said Every Mom EVER
"I think she just assumed the stupidity run into my family." I don't think it's something I should laugh at, but I snorted 😂
"It's also weird because asian parents are the last group of people you can make see a doctor" omg yeah 😭
My parents have 4 kids, all healthcare professionals. And yet it is almost impossible to take them to see the GP.
took my mother to see the doctor, and doctor said"you are ok, just have more rest". After back home, my mother said"I told you.Seeing a doctor is a waste of money".
They will believe anything OTHER THAN modern medicine. Tiger Balm that stuff will help relieve the pain from the arrow in your stomach. Drinking hot water will protect you from COVID-19.... *SIGHS DEEPLY*

*I was told study hard and become a doctor, I'm a patient now*
😂😂
😆😆😆😆
Close enough 😂
Congratulations! You get to work with doctors!
🤣🤣🤣
Read between the lines.
The emphasis on money and success is an illustration of the immigrant struggle and immigrant parents do not want their children to struggle and face the hardships that they had to deal with, coming to a new country and a new culture.
It doesn't matter where they come from, but all immigrant stories are a saga of struggle and sacrifice to provide a bright future for their children .
YES. I am a first generation immigrant.
I agree and I‘m also a 1st gen immigrant
Well said !!
You really do sounds like a first generation immigration “I DID THIS FOR YOU MY CHILD”
@@testing38919
Yes I am first gen immigrant.
Irrespective of where one is, don't all parents want and strive for a secure future for themselves & their kids ?

And I SOUND like a first gen
Not

I felt that
Haha yesss!
The affirmation

"mom, dad, I'm dyslexic"
"shut up, boys are not meant to be with boys"
Then you had to go to scholl after crying
“Brown love is very conditional” I’m cackling because it’s true 🥲
😔
🤣🤣🤣 it's hurt till we numb
My family isn't of coloured but it is conditional as well
Trust me, white families it is conditional as well.
Jokes apart I salute all those parents who migrate to another countries and struggle financially emotionally physically just to provide good future and life to their kids ❤️❤️
I once asked my African mom if she’d ever stop loving my siblings and I, and she straight up was like “yeah I’ve got a list” so yeah immigrants have conditions to their love
This is like their therapy 😂 let it out ..
If you are a child of immigrant parents, it's your therapy period. Flashbacks,lol.
Girlforaction frrrrrr
That's exactly why I want to get into comedy, just as a side gig!
They dont even know what therapy is
"life is not a competition"
Asian parents: "no, it is"
Being half Chinese and half Filipino, my Chinese relatives wants me to be a doctor while my Filipino side encouraged me to be a nurse😂😂😂 Me I really wanted to teach.
Mr P coz more nurses are needed abroad than Doctors, I guess. also immigrant Doctors are prone to racism that’s why.
do you what you really love and are passionate about :) best of luck to you because you will be the one who has to go into that job on the daily so choose what you love :)

OMG the allowances for latinos 😭😭😭 I remember asking my dad why we didn’t get allowances & he said we don’t get them because there’s no word for allowance in Spanish so it doesn’t exist for us lol
@Iron Trolls *Baon?*
*What the hell is that?*
*We just to ask for "Propinas", that exactly means "Tips"*
@Iron Trolls As a Mexican I have never heard/seen the word "baon" until today.
Where I live we say "limosna" for allowance in Spanish.
I remember discovering allowances and just being SO confused. Your parents just... gave you spending money? For no reason? Like... I had to save up birthday and Christmas money and make it last a whole year and y'alls parents were giving you a steady stream of money??
Mesada
When they switch accents to imitate their parents it's hilarious.
I do the same 😂😂
Asian Parents:
- Doctors
- Medical Professionals
- Lawyers
- Engineers
- Teachers
- Technologists
- Entrepreneurs
Love and totally get all of these cultures!❤❤❤I’m a Caucasian immigrant from Western Europe but my parents insisted my four sisters and I play violin, cello and piano professionally-OR ELSE!
Music lessons,weekly orchestra practice, music camps practicing for four hours a day, while insisting we all get straight A’s, winning competitions, conservatory schooling, etc. The constant pressure to succeed was overwhelming. -Thank you for your stories and bringing laughter to so many!😂
Told my parents I couldn’t be a medical doctor, they said it’s ok be a PHD doctor. The atrocity I tell you.
Lmao just get your PhD in philosophy. Hey as long as people address you as Doctor, that's all parents care. My dad knows that I'm majoring in science and that's all he cares, what am I studying to become in the future, he doesn't care as long as it's science. My older brother just got his degree in Public Administration, he doesn't care about it. It makes me sad sometimes but oh well.
Audacity
@@xxIluvyouguysxx No actually it is atrocity.
@@axydently0 their dreams, not yours. Whatever you do, don't let your parents dictate your life, go to whatever college _you_ want and get outta that house. That's my plan anyway, my mom wants me to go study biology to have a job in shaping fake teeth, no idea why that's what she got obsessed with. Either way I'm not doing it.
This was exactly what happened to me lmao
My ex is Mexican/Puerto Rican/ Irish, I was so shocked one day when his mom heard him say something mean to me and saw me walk away crying then she walked up to him big huge buff guy and slapped him upside the head then said "what do u do?" Followed by a couple more then her saying "I love this girl you will be nice to her." We Brooke up 15 years ago im still really close with his entire family.
This is honestly so heart-warming.
There’s no love like a Latino’s love.
No exaggeration. None better.
Mum is sacred in Latin countries
Mexican/PuertoRican/Irish. 😂😂😂
That's great to know that all this time & there's still friendship with your ex's Familia!! My Mother may she R.I.P. always spoke highly of my brother's ex-wife all the way till her death 3 yrs ago.

Good one!
@candy oh I forgot about the spatula
My abuelita backhanded me in a Walmart when I was 23. I don’t know why I thought that my being an adult, and the one that drove her to the damned store was enough to allow me to speak my mind.
@Henri FFS, it was a funny story and probably meant to be. Not everything has to be about your feelings. Smdh...
Respect your elders or expect a putaso
*Fuck, you can be the fucking president and your mom or grandma will bitchslapped you if you respond to them*
@Henri Crawl back to your safe space with your "I feel" whiny ass
My mother stopped hitting me pretty damn fast when I became taller than her (13? 15?) and started hitting back, returning to her exactly what she was dishing out. If you can't behave like a civilized adult despite being an adult, you're not going to get the respect civilized adults get. If you need therapy to stop behaving as emotionally incompetent as a child and you still refuse to do it, then other people are absolutely not obliged to deal with your temper tantrums.
I felt all of this. 😂😂😂. The times I tried to be an American kid to my Portuguese parents were the times I felt all the pain.

Asian parents suffer from odd social anxiety to the point where EVERYthing is done just for show.
thats so true and sad
Couldn't have said any better. Every fucking thing (furnitures) in my house just for the. We have to get good grades so that people won't talk shit. We have to behave certain way so that "neighbors" won't gossip. I'm so tired of it.
Don’t forget asian women also have to marry at a certain age or have kids 🙄 and show that off too 😂
@@warmaudacity3678 its kinda sad cuz for me my parents would just be so stressed out for their reputation in the family. We're a full fledge Asian family with own own tradition in each side and it gets hectic cuz of how many things we gotta prepare every reunion and family tradition and how the house should look, how we present ourselves, how much we've accomplished.
Sometimes we just gotta help them loosen up with the reputation and do things in our own family way.
Our parents were grown up to be like that, to have this kind of living and it must be horrible for them, even if they don't show it.
@@lizrod7892 not really a certain age. But they'd nah at you when you're quite successful enough on your own. Usually around after 22 to 35. (Coming from my family experience) kids?? They usually don't give a shit after the first child.

I felt this bone deep! I'm first generation Puerto Rican and German. I can so relate to the Hispanic and the European comedians. That shit went on in my household growing up and I got both sides of it. Being pushed to succeed is big when you grow up in an immigrant household. And respect is expected or your ass got kicked big time.

My mom didn’t care cuz she took off her belt in the middle of church and went to town fam
apparently immigrant parents have same ways of dealing with issues no matter where they are from.
Definitely, my friends and I have families who have immigrated from the Caribbean, Asia, the Middle East and South America, our parents may have grown up speaking different languages or eating different foods, but they all learned to parent the basically same way.
Strong family,tough upbringing respect the elders pretty much across the board.
@@milosmarinkovic797 Exactly. I'm Nigerian
@Sameer Vadlamani my guess is hes Serbian (from the name, I am too, that's a very typical Serbian name). And yes, there are tons of similarities between our families and all other immigrants. I think americans/canadians/western europeans can learn a lot from us when it comes to multigenerational family ties and closeness beyond the nuclear family. But we can learn a lot from them when it comes to being open minded about careers etc. Basically what happens when cultures mix is that hopefully everyone learns from each other and we all progress further.
So it seems.
That last guy was a crack up. I love his grandma 🤣
Asian Parents: borrows money from child, promises to pay later
But when you remind them or even ask them when they'll pay they gonna be starting to remind you and give you a whole damn lesson for all their expenses spent on you since you were born.

“Hates feelings, loves speedos. That’s my dad.” That could sum up pretty much any immigrant father.

Immigrant parents are practical, realistic and strict. They work hard cos they aren't rich so they had to show tough love to their kids. Heck, mine got only soft in their 60s. Despite that, we just know they did what they did for the family. That's all that counts.
yeah all immigrant parents are the same 🙄🙄🙄🙄 hey let me read you your horoscope and tell you how special you are i bet you'll eat that shit up.
You've clearly experienced nice immigrant parents.(-___-') If you had mines you'd never be able to say this. (ToT)
Immigrant parents are tough. Although, my parents only smacked my butt - “that is why it is padded.” I had a 9 pm curfew at 18 and my sister had to date with a chaperone. The allowance bit was my childhood.
@PurpleSugar56, you got it right on.
*Nah, some parents are just dicks, hitting and educate are 2 different things if you're a really bad kid then yeah you deserve it, but for most parents it was the way to handle something that they didn't know and that was raising child*

"Babies are bitcoin..." Yeah, THAT one is universal.
So I'm Slav. Momma disciplined me like she knew. She tolerated absolutely no disrespect. Yes, I argued with her, especially as a teen, but to say I hated her. Dude, before I even finish the phrase, my mom would've slapped me teeth down to my stomach. Pops didn't interfere because he knew mom would be on him. My grandma is the same. Hell, I'm 29 and I never and I mean never cuss in front of her.
I knew an Asian who was forced by his parents into becoming a psychiatrist--his mother was a medical doctor, his father a psychiatrist. After he got his doctorate and started working at his father's practice he freaked out one day, ran away from home, and became an enlisted soldier in the Army. Not an officer. Not a psychiatrist. Just plain old Private Joe. The last time I saw him he was sitting on a curb waiting to go into an appointment--3 years in, still not promoted, which was insane for someone of his intellect. I asked him how he was, and he said, "I'm fantastic. No one expects anything from me. All I have to do is what I'm told when I'm told and I have zero responsibility. It's Amazing! I've never been happier." I lost track of him after that, but I think of him often, and every time I hear a story/comedian talk about Asian parents. If you're still out there, man, best of luck to you. I hope you found what you were looking for and you're happy. Push your kids, traumatize them all you like for your own gain, but there will be consequences eventually.
My step dad is Desi Indian (I’m Afro latina) he told me after I failed two classes in middle school to just get married when I got older because I’ll never have a good transcript for college. But I knew he meant well, he was they type to show he loved you instead of saying it. He must love me because he cane to every concert, every art audition and the man taught me to walk.
Immigrants are amazing people.
This teared me up.
I love this so much.

I'm white and I feel this on a personal level. My mom and grandma tolerated no disrespect. I wouldn't even cuss in front of my grandma as an adult. She was a fiesty old German lady, and she feared no man.
Foreign grandmothers are a whole other level.
Uff I get the German grandma part - I’d never cuss in front of my grandma for fear of the look of disappointment 0.0
My grandma yelled at my dad in German, that's so the rest of the family had no idea what they were saying. My older brother learned German that way lol. Unfortunately, she passed before any of us kids grew up.
My grandma's Irish and usually very soft spoken and sweet. The ONE time any of her kids, grandkids, or great-grandkids (there's a lot of us) ever cursed at her was my uncle, who is her only son, her cherished child, her uncontested favorite child. The entire family stepped back, no one was gonna get in her way to slap him into next week
German is a different kinda white lol
The best part is there’s so many things that is just parent things from certain ages. Jo Koy definitely made me remember spaghetti in a country crock container lol

@@chris-rq7dw wow settle down. In cases like you're describing, they're offered asylum. Too many times that gets confused with economic migrant, which are usually the ones who enter illegally. The majority are not political asylees.
That's empirically false. Most illegal migrants are refugees that have not been given asylum but left violent, poor nations to make it here. Most nations don't give asylum to many people fleeing horrible situations. On the other hand, purely economic migrants have empirically almost always been legal.
@@katew.176 Seeking asylum is a long and complicated process, especially for people who don't have the legal or language skills to understand the immigration process. Asylum status is difficult to gain because of how strong and detailed your case needs to be in order to fit within one of the categories to be considered for asylum or refuge. Even when someone has gained asylum, it can take years for them to be granted citizenship. I worked at a non-profit organization dealing specific with providing legal assistance for asylum seekers, and saw firsthand how tedious the process can be. People wait months to even hear back if their case was taken on or not. Political asylum is not automatically granted to whoever needs or seeks it.
@@pranavanand4305 if they are economic migrants, why would they get legal status in another country when they're safe in their own? I'm not referring to those who get a visa for work or through a lottery system or even a student visa. I'm talking about immigrants who come illegally and how economic migrant is different from an asylum seeker on the grounds they left due to poverty, for example. Violence or fearing for your life I understand is asylum. And although it is a long and difficult road, that's not to say EM gain legal status more often if they came illegally. They have less chance actuall of legal status, because they don't meet the criteria. The original comment referred to legal vs illegal immigrants. So that's what I was responding to.
My dad's Dominican, Caribbean farming family. He saw was there for his grandson's first steps. My sister in awe. I'm smiling. My dad says in Spanish "about damn time".

Being with guys who don't know how to cook, or actusl life in practical ways is like.... nah. Just nah. Girls might think the guy's cute when they're younger, and priorities are generally retarded, but by age 30 etc, the more actual life things guys can't do well, the more infuriating it can be lol. And it tends to be those things which make or break a union.
If a guy can cook, it is honestly such a massive win.
I admire your family though for their drive
I'm sure your father means well. My father carried on the ancient Japanese tradition of men not even being able to cook an egg properly.
I legit fell out of my chair on the last one 🤣
Sitting here at work..looking at my lunch…in a cool whip container!!’ 🤣🤣
The Irish Catholic houses being like “We eating? We pray!”, “You have a test? We pray!”, “You wanna get a doll? Pray and God will get you that stuff!”
B-But, first, we pray in English and then, Gaelic. Then English again.
Irish* You must be Irish American lol
@@suqmaddiqq Gaelic is the Irish language…
🤣🤣🤣
@@yeetngreet148 actually we call our language Irish, not gaelic. The word Gaelic is derived from the Irish word Gaeilge, which translated means Irish. Anyone who claims to be Irish and says they speak gaelic might be descended from Irish people, but no actual Irish person would say that. Also, most of us don't speak Irish, English is our first language.
That's like every Muslim family ever too. Pray for everything!!
Truth: Asian parents are the last group of people to see a doctor.
Relate to this. 🤣🤣🤣
True, especially of some West Asian, e.g., Arab, parents. :)
we first seek some quack doctor, miracle healer or magical body oil rub for few months then when things go south, we ask our nurse/medical field grad cousins/aunt/uncle/niece/nephews even neighbors.
@@heal423 lol buts it's true my mom broke her leg refused to see dr and than Sunday at 4 am I think I need to go to the hospital
Excrept if the doctor is a relative😂😂
It’s funny to see how successful Jo Koi has become in spite of Netflix not believing in him at first. He’s the 🐐!!!
Man, this is the best. You guys are so right. I'm a foreigner too and my kids tell me the same thing.
I have Asian/desi mother and an Arab father both doctors, my brothers are doctors and I will be the first non doctor in my family in three generations. Yes apparently law is for the dumb children who were mediocre at bio and chem and sucked at math and physics. So law it was.
