Onigiri Parents

Parents who are white on the outside, but Asian all the way through. Named after a type of rice cake from Japan that uses white rice.

Same unbalanced focus on grades/academics at expense of all else, same overbearing and overprotective nature, same perfectionist kids who burn out from anxiety.

Scott: Fuuuuuck, my parents yelled at me all night for getting an 89 on the last exam. I still have a 4.1 GPA, so I don’t see what the problem is. I can’t handle my parents anymore.

Richard: Sounds like a classic case of onigiri parents.
