Why do Asians really get straight A's? - Project Gutenberg Consortia ...

parenting boot camp. Gabriel is use to my parents' austere behavior so he doesn't even
bother commenting about Auntie.
I remember when I was a kid, going to Disneyland with my parents' friends and their
children. My parents had to go out of town that weekend on a business trip so one of the
parents— whose name I've forgotten long ago— announced proudly and confidently to my
dad, “ If Johnson bad, don't worry. I will spank him like he my own son! ” Truth be told, I wasn't
as scared as I was pissed. Who does this guy think he is? What gives him the right to
discipline me? Gabriel told me that this happened to him before as well when he was a kid in
Japan. So I guess Asian parents like to beat up on other kids as well as their own children.
Why don't they pick on someone their own size, instead of hurting defenseless, innocent, little
children? I guess the reason is because they're really cowards, just like cops. Yeah, that's
right: cops. Cops love to abuse their power. Many of them are dropouts with an authority
complex, beaten up one too many times in high school, so now they think that it's their turn to
pick on people. Only they pick on the defenseless— just like Asian parents and dastards.
It's not really their fault, though; I read a news article once about the instituted police
policy of a “ maximum intelligence standard ” for new officers, meaning that if you're smart,
you can't be a cop, and if you're dumb as a rock, welcome! The “ maximum intelligence
standard ” is set at an IQ of around 99, which is a little below average. They like them dumb
enough not to question the law, but just smart enough to know how to shoot and tase the hell
out of innocent people. This reminds me of a bumper sticker that I saw not too long ago, that
read: To Protect and To Serve, To Assault and To Taze. I love wordplay, especially when it's
true. Anyway, if you don't believe that there's a “ maximum intelligence standard, ” just Google
it. That's what I did when Gabriel first told me. And you and I both know that Gabriel is full of
it, so you always have to double check whenever he tells you something.
I'm still not done talking about cops. Cops these days remind me of the mindless high
school football player— not that football players are mindless, just as a cliché— and they only
know how to do one thing and nothing else: take orders. Like in Seattle, when a cop tased a
pregnant woman because she wouldn't get out of her car fast enough— maybe because she's
freaking pregnant and can't move very fast, Officer! How about the time cops tased a
wheelchair-bound woman to death in Florida? Or how about the time a cop started beating up
a teenage girl and boy in an Arkansas park just for skateboarding? “ Cops gone wild ” pretty
much sums it up.
