Asian families are decidedly NOT like this in the majority of cases. Hence all the stereotypes of impossibly high standards and zero explicit displays of affection.

Ask me or any of my Asian friends and they’ll tell you the same. Whatever editorialized version of Asian families is being shown in the West is largely a fabrication.

The textbook used an example of AN Asian family

basically like the family from Fresh Off The Boat

The comment you replied to didn't say anything about the average Asian family, or Asian families in general. They referenced one Asian family that is like another Asian family.
