When Your Asian Mom Hates How You Look

A viral podcast clip featuring Chinese stand-up comedian Liang Jiaoying shocked viewers not because of her jokes, but because of her mom. Instead of support, her mother harshly mocked her looks, even calling her “ugly” and comparing her lips to a pig’s snout. What hit home for many was how familiar this felt: countless netizens shared painful memories of being shamed by their own parents. This video dives into the deeper issue behind that moment: in East Asian culture, children are often treated as extensions of their parents, not as independent people. Appearance is seen as a “passport” for jobs, marriage, and opportunities, which fuels parents’ obsession with criticizing their kids’ looks. But this so-called “motivation” leaves deep scars on self-esteem. Why do so many Asian parents shame their children’s appearance? And what does this reveal about insecurity, control, and culture? Let’s talk about it.
