Parents sound like they're intent on having him turn out as 'normal' as possible, and giving him a well rounded childhood.

Asian kid. What are the chances?

I don't think at his level of smarts it's about being Asian and being taught to work hard etc.
There was a white boy something like this in my high school who was taking calculus when he was a freshman or sophomore, and doing better than the rest of us seniors At one point he pawned his slide rule for money and "ran away from home", at least for a couple days. I finally beat him on the National Math Contest**, but I'd entenered 2 previous years, so maybe that helped, or maybe he was day-dreaming about running away again, because every other time he beat me. .
**A test so hard that a lot of high-school students who took it got negative scores.Then in college there was a black boy from Gary, Indiana, who was only
15 or 14 and was a first or second year student at the U of Chicago. We weren't in any classes together, so I don't know about that, but they wouldn't have let him in if he weren't smart. We were in a dorm together for a year and every few weeks he would come into a bedroom where a few of us were and announce, "I've just reorgnaized my total existence".- Vote on answer

It's under-regulation that got us into this problem.

No, it's under regulation, that we got into this problem.

It is really hard to figure out why Asians don't suffer from the same discrimination.

Really.

Easy, they're called "toxic CDOs".

Not a "regulartion"? It sure as hell is, though I understand that you're too stupid to understand.
Still no dumbass argument.

Umm... Chris, you are very selective with your memory of History... Your lack of awareness of "laws" existing in the first 150 years of our country doesn't mean that none in fact existed...

How is that a problem, Congress is accurately representing the true interests which got them elected which in most cases has very little to do with the interest of the people...
The "American People" are but mindless drones in the election process being brainwashed by pointless political ads which often have no purpose other than to get the candidate elected, you may have the vote in your hands to give but you are being manipulated by powerful forces beyond your control or influence at the moment as to how you will use it...
