Hmmm...
I find this thread very interesting simply because my stepmother is Asian, originally reared throughout China and Taiwan, so I've seen both cultures try to exist together and argue over this exact subject first hand many, many times.
Not only that, but watching an Asian mother who tries to keep these cultural ideas intact raising a child in America is also very interesting. Her daughter took nearly 25 years, but she finally rebelled and practically lost her mind because she was allowed absolutely no independence in a world where it was expected of her.
Add that into the fact that my stepmother has somehow mixed all of this into being radically Christian. hmmm.
Anyway, neat to see everyone's opinions on this matter. Very, very interesting...
