The really stupid thing is parents’ inability to guide kids in their daily homework and coach them to pass exams…that’s the stupid thing now. Not this old man.

He's referring to Singaporean Chinese, right? No? Our Chinese forefathers were from China and our culture was from there. His forefathers also from China, right? So what does it make him? The pot calling the kettle black?

According to our grandpa, which Lee Ao drew the discussion of his topic from, our ancestors came from the south, and were poor peasants, while those who did not migrate during the war, including those in Shanghai and Beijing for example, were intellects and educated. So despite the fact that we are all Chinese, these people are trying to differentiate a race by the substance of their genes.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.\" W Shakespeare. Knowledge can be acquired and it doesn't make a person great. Our forefathers may be uneducated, we are. Their forefathers may be educated and they are too. However, from the things that he said and the way he carried himself, it proves that his genes are substandard. An educated person may not carry himself well compared to an uneducated one. :razz:
