I had a chaplain in the Army who mentioned that he wished Americans would act more like Chinese when it came to strong family values and educational standards. I replied, we do not have to be Chinese to do that. All we have to is to restore the values of our immigrant fathers who understood strong family, Godly morality, hard work and education.

Go to any big Chinese restaurant in the US, you know, the huge, red-carpeted, palatial dining rooms with many tables that sit 10 or 12 people each, for dim sum/yamcha, and just eat (of course) and then watch the family activity of the neighboring Chinese (ma, pa, little sister, big brother, Uncle Jiang, grandma, grandpa, Aunt Liang, etc) and savor the POWER of the CHINESE FAMILY.

Go to any restaurant the next day, MacDonalds, wherever, and watch the typical American white or black family in contrast. Sad.

I know it is an over generalization, but there is a lot of truth in this thread.
