Yup. A lot of Asian kids spend 2-3 hours a day studying while little johnny is playing sports. Little johnny gets to sweep floors for a living while the other kids become doctors and nurses.

That's a great double standard to strive for.

If people logged the time their kids spend doing academics vs sports, they would be shocked.

This would be a great place to scan in the cartoon on my fridge. The one about the two kids playing baseball, one from Asia and one from Michigan. They discuss their summer break and in the end the Michigan boy asks the other what he's going to be when he grows up. The Asian boy answers, "your boss..." definately a double standard.
