High Expectations Asian Father


This internet meme is one of the oldest and most popular Asian meme created. This meme was created by two guys named Chris and Bryant on a tumbler post in 2010. But what is it that makes this particular meme so popular? For certain I know it isn't his appearance what makes this meme so funny, its that its a major stereotype that has been around the world for quite some time, that Asian parents have high expectations and in this case its a father. Based upon theses stereotypes this meme has statements were the father demands the best from his offspring's, like becoming a doctor, getting into a ivy league university, and getting the maximum scores on all exams.

Me, a regular 9gagger see the High Expectations Asian Father meme hit the trending and hot  pages on 9gag.com all the time. High Expectations Asian Father doesnt cause  any noticeable rages on the comments sections but their always that one person.


As you can see from the comment some people do get concerned, not everyone is passive with the stereotypes.
The stereotype that Asians parents are  Helicopter parents is a common misconception, they only want whats best for their children. They bring the way of parenting to the   to the United States so they prosper. Not all Asian parents are strict and that's just obvious.
 . High Expectations Asian Father memes thrive throughout the internet for a few more follow the link below, enjoy.

    As being a huge fan of memes myself. I have to say this is by far one of my favorite memes ever since it sums up a stereotyped Asian father. Even thought for some it might be true it is funny to actually imagine if the person is actually real. It fits all the Asian parent Stereotypes into one which is perfect.

    As an Asian myself, i agree that Asian parents are strict. Asian parents are strict like that because they want the best for their children. They are just like all the other parents in the world.

    @rachelle I couldn't agree more but don't you think they take it too far at times?
