    Is Harvard Unfair to Asian-Americans?

    The story is about AA but you are singling out Chinese. I don't condone that but couldn't find myself an excuse to disagree.

    After school programs

    If Missus can afford the time, I suggest you consider a la carte: a dance, a music, a sport plus a useless secondary language. You've in Irvine so it is never too early to start the routine. In fact you might already be late. It has just dawned on me, the afternoon traffic between 3 and 6 is...

    Birth Tourism

    Money talks and BS moves. This to many people is a SHTF scenario. Many 'tourists' have adopted guerrilla tactic. They have learned not to move in group to evade attention. That os their choice. But a lawyer risk his career over 6k doesn't have my sympathy. I hope he didn't pay much for his law...

    Discipline

    Wait till they reach puberty. No amount of discipline can prepare you for the headaches down the road. I just gave up.

    Is Harvard Unfair to Asian-Americans?

    No, I am the one who does NOT leave tips at Chinese joints because other tables give me weird looks as if I make them look bad.

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    How does that work? Do they reserve a few spots for immediate family members around the veteran's or scatter them all over the place?

    Is Harvard Unfair to Asian-Americans?

    As far as I can tell, they are not generous tippers either, especially at Chinese restaurants.

    Middle School Homework

    Speaking of AP classes, has anyone heard that NHS is changing the grading point for AP classes? I heard that an A in AP would only get 4 points from now and that the Chinese parents are once again whining. Dis Gon B Gud.

    Is Harvard Unfair to Asian-Americans?

    This has nothing to do with the cemetery issue and that is my point. One can argue that the admission criteria is unfair. But the fact of life is, respect is something we earn by giving back, not by our skin color. Kicking and whining will not earn respect, will it? This part of the article...

    Is Harvard Unfair to Asian-Americans?

    I reckon this is the honest to God truth. Now I can finally blame my failure on my dad's lack of connections. Phew. On a more positive note, I hope Asian Americans can take note of this and reflect on how to integrate into the mainstream society and foster connections, instead of fighting over...

    Police Incident in McKinney, Texas

    The heavy handed response by police will only beget further hatred from the African American. Definitely not a good example. I'm glad social media exposes this type of incident in real time for all to see and judge.

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    Ouchy. It is not what they are demanding. It is how much we value the life we are leading now as the result of their sacrifice. There is another old Chinese saying which English translation is "When you drink the H2O, think of the men who dug the well." On the other hand, the Chinese sayings...

    Welcome - New Members Start Here

    Hello, everyone. I am not new to TI. Having seen the dark side of human relationship lately, I thought this is the one place where I can say what I like without consequence. Of all bad, self-centered, judgemental racist people, you guys are the most shamelessly honest, hopelessly narrow...

    Possible Package Theft in West Irvine

    I would lose a $50 package once in a while than dealing with a useless gate that costs everyone $200 to $300 extra each month.

    Burglary

    The guy deserves a thumb-up for breaking the stereotype. Maybe he was cleaning the bathroom for her.

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    There is a saying in Chinese similar to 'when in Rome, do as Romans do'. These anti-cemetery vocals, so bent on clinging to their custom, seem to have forgotten that deeply ingrained philosophy. The stupid fengshui is everything and the only thing they care about now. It is plainly rude imho.
