All in the way (or not) people are brought up by their parents. Too many in the minority community had little to no supervision or guidance (not that their parents could provide either even if both were around).
Too many of these morons have been “brought up” by the government, proof positive that government needs to be reduced in size and responsibility.
In Asian cultures, as in many others, family connection is very strong and teaches to put others, particularly elders, before oneself. Sometimes that connection can be too strong. My cousin has been called back to Shanghai from Chicago by her mother, recovering from hip sugery, despite the fact her brother lives only five minutes away. Her mom claims my cousin is a bad daughter yet gives her little credit for sending her thousands of dollars each year.
I remember my parents "counseling" about something that I had done bringing shame on the family. While I didn't mind getting in trouble for my misdeed the idea that I had shamed the family was horrible to me. We have lost the family connections and the concept of shame in this country.
