Why not just say, “Confucius made me do it”? We can name the “Asian culture” defense for what it is: Garbage. I’m tweeting this because it harms the rest of us—ordinary Asians & Asian Americans. Investigate Chao as an individual. Give her due process. Tell it to the judge.

Filial piety in the name of corruption

more like filial hypocrisy that cuts across socio-ethnic lines. Like Trump, some folks would sell out their own mothers for a little taste of power and money.
