Wow, I am shocked that you would perpetuate this negative stereotype, and a really shaky one at best. Might as well use Jewish mothers or WASP mothers. Especially coming from an anthropologist. I have a lot of Asian friends and none of their parent as far as I can tell act overprotective. In fact, it was definitely my Jewish and Irish friends that had overprotective parents.
