Why is it supposed to be funny? What makes diaspora literature by Asian American women so horrifying that it can be used as a punishment?

Asian women don’t actually know oppression. They are one of the most sought after demographics in the world.

I don’t think it’s peculiar to Asian women.
Women of all races complain about trivial retarded shit mainly amounting to ‘Chad doesn’t kiss my arse properly’

Aren't most books that win awards basically "contemporary diaspore literature by Asian-American women with writing degrees in Harvard/Yale" with more or less the same complaints about parents and without an introspection if their fathers are actually right?

Asian-American women are typically attractive, well-off, and highly-educated. The more narcissistic ones love to pretend to be oppressed.

I think a lot of "twinkie" (westernized) Asians' neurosis comes from the fact that they are relatively high IQ and likely to have strong stable family dynamics that encourage middle class values and thus upper middle class prosperity. Thus, they are left with a kind of "So... what now?" problem, as they're semi-guaranteed modest affluence by age 30. There's a lot of room there if they have no strong connection to any culture, no religion, etc., to just become neurotic and miserable.

It’s because Asian (here it means mostly Asian not oriental, like Indian) diaspora books by women are all the exact fucking same

It's also complete bullshit with what they write. They paint Asian dads as some crazy abusive figure that controls everything. It's a characterature from joy luck club. And tons of shitty movies with Asian bad guys
