I was actually referring solely to the quote as discriminatory, providing the link for some context. Although, as you all pointed out, the "pushy parent trying to live out their dreams through their child" angle of the story also perpetuates a stereotype.

Here is the link of the BBC's contact form. If you feel that the article is discriminatory or perpetuates stereotypes, write-in!
