I agree, but it is more along the lines of:

'You have to be a doctor' with a UAI of 99 LOL

This should have a poll :p

Yup. Asian parents usually want their kids to become doctors, pharmacists, dentists and optometrists with UAIs of 99.
I know a friend who is really stressed at the moment about pleasing his parents and consequently repeated to get a better UAI.

Sterotyping people is bad, thats one of the reasons why we have war.

No l do not agree, just because you may know of a couple of Aisan parents who are like that doesn't mean that they all are.

I am discusted that some could post a thing like this. Next they will all be talking about the Aboriginals

Hehehe I guess any Asian parent would want their kid to do a degree with a high UAI cutoff and come out with a high income profession.

Hmm...I dunno. I guess people can joke about it because it is a pain they know well.
