25. Encourage your kids to be lawyers (hopefully litigators) rather than engineers and doctors. Try to get them into ivy league schools... not for the academics but for the social networking.

26. Make a ton of money and give lots of donations to the two major political parties, become a player the party of your choice and stay the heck away from asian american PACs.

Then mentor/bring other asians into the same non-Asian political networks as equals, not tokens and not outsiders or PACs with a social mission.

27. Make sure your kids don't develop the asian american inferiority complex endemic to many asian-american organizations. Teach them to play and win even if the field isn't entirely level.

Tell them to try to level the field after they score a touchdown, rather than in the middle of a play.

Show them that scoring a touchdown goes a long way to helping even the field out all by itself.

of course, he/she posted as "anonymous." how sad. i'd like to give that person a big hug for tellin' it like it is. "anonymous" has brought some common sense back into the discussion. i <3 "anonymous."
