The daughter of Amy Chua who recently made big headlines and even bigger criticism with her Asian inspired parenting techniques, has decided to speak out about her mom by starting a blog:
America’s best-known “Tiger Mother,” Yale Law Professor Amy Chua, may soon face some literary competition from her daughter.
High school senior Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, who along with her younger sister is featured in their mother’s book advocating an intensely strict mode of parenting, started a blog earlier this month called “New Tiger in Town,” where she sounds off on some of the controversy around her family. (Chua, whose memoir “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” came out in January, says she’s even received death threats for her parenting stance. NPR talked to a panel of mothers who were “horrified” at the restrictions Chua said she placed on her children.)
“When the whole world’s calling you a mindless robot, you kind of get the urge to start talking!” Chua-Rubenfeld writes of why she started the blog. “Even though ‘Sophia’ in the book is much more impressive than Sophia in real life. I think I’m sullying my impeccable image one post at a time, but so be it.” [Yahoo News]
You can read here blog here. Something I found of interest was that Amy Chua used to work as a cashier at McDonald’s. She has come a long way since those days. Despite what people say about Amy Chua and her daughters they seem like quite nice people.

How come her mom is hot, but her daughter is fugly?
Americans are in a jealous uproar over Amy Ghua because she makes American parents look real bad in parenting skills and intelligence level.

Uh, Tom, Amy Chua is an American; born, raised, educated, employed. So your implication that her life and success is a rebuttal of all things American is as asinine as most, if not all, of your bigoted posts.
BTW, daughter is much better looking than mom.

OK, Chinese American. LOL. Why are white Americans going ballistic over Asian raiding the kids method? Are they jealous?

Oh by the way, off topic: Korean courts have handed the GI who tried to rob and rape an elderly Korean couple, 7 years in the slammer. The press report says the courts did not give the guy any breaks just because he's a foreigner (which is what they do usually), and that he got the same sentence as any Korean who would try to rob and rape a grandmother. Finally some justice.

In my opinion, the daughter looks considerably more attractive here than in her other photos. And frankly, the mother isn't all that attractive. Okay-looking, but nothing to write home about.
I, by the way, look like Keanu Reeves circa 1989.

The daughter has that multi-cultural, multi-racial kind of attractiveness, don't you think, Tom?

We're clearly very different. The first thing that popped to mind was a stoner playing air-guitar, and the first thing you thought of was young male prostitutes.

Mmmmm…
…sweet, sweet young male prostitutes.
Don't ruin it for me, Teadrinker… I want to maintain my own private Kushibo fantasies.

I'm going to laugh my ass off when she finally gets out from under her mom and almost immediately becomes a heroin/meth fiend and gets knocked up by her pimp.
/actually wish her well
//her mother should be crucified

I would like to know why GI Korea erased Zilchy's sock puppet ranting against Koreans, and ended up making it look like I was replying to myself.

Um, first off, what I had in mind was this (NSFW).
And, um, second of all, I only alluded to my amazing good looks to preempt Tom (or anybody else) who might say to someone like me knocking a woman for not being drop-dead gorgeous, "Oh, as if you look like Brad Pitt or Daniel Henney!"

Could war veterans, rape victims, abused children and others who've seen horrific crimes have traumatic memories that haunt them weakened? In a new study, UCLA life scientists report a discovery that may make the reduction of such memories a reality.
