[James C. Bennett]

You have a valid point, but the original author did address those examples:

AMY CHUA: “I'm using the term “Chinese mother” loosely. I know some Korean, Indian, Jamaican, Irish and Ghanaian parents who qualify too. Conversely, I know some mothers of Chinese heritage, almost always born in the West, who are not Chinese mothers, by choice or otherwise. I'm also using the term “Western parents” loosely. Western parents come in all varieties.”

Ergo, an article with a lot of noise signifying nothing, not even a tune, since everything is pre-qualified to be equal and tone-deaf.
