Are y’all sure we aren’t making too much of this?

Is this a more nuanced topic?

here is the nuance (and it's unspoken)

collectivists like these are saying certain minority (since Asians are not minorities in this discussion) parents are terrible but lack the balls to say so, so they flip it into a privilege of white/affluent parents. this way they can criticize white/affluent parents for making more optimal decisions and flip it into a societal unfairness, without having to discuss the suboptimal decisions of the non white/affluent population.

you want to hear the real nuance? she is criticizing white/affluent parents for not helping out bad, black and brown parents. it's a racist arse argument that she's spun into the opposite, alleged, kind of racism.

Parents don't need to. It's plenty enough to raise your own. If everyone would raise their own kids with care, our entire society would be infinitely better. Not everyone will raise their own kids like everyone else wants, but it still will be a good thing
