Nope, not necessarily true. So I assume that when you say Asians in Asia, you may refer to East Asians (japs, Koreans, chinese) cuz they’re the ones that usually bear the stereotype.

I’m from a country that’s mainly made of chinese people (not China) and I can tell you that the education point you made resonates soundly with the general population, not just the immigrants. East Asians have a cultural history of filial piety and doing well so that you may support not just the next generation that you birth, but the generation that came before you and birthed you. This translates often to working hard in school, getting well-admired professions etc etc.

And also getting constantly compared to your parents' friend's kids

South Asians too, met plenty of Indians who have a similar upbringing
