If I ever swore at my parents, they would shoot me
This. Mom is Chinese. My great grandparents came to the US from China. Dad's family is Scots Irish with Oklahoma/Texas influence. There was a lot of emphasis on respect, personal responsibility and family. Dad and I are into culinary "tourism"... which means we like to eat food from a variety of cultures. So chopsticks, a lot of rice... and let me just say that rice with butter and sugar and milk is an abomination.
I often feel like an odd duck. Not wholly comfortable in Chinese culture, don't quite fit into white American culture.
