Oh, I'm not saying all Asians are a certain way and all North Americans are another. I remember learning in school that from a general society perspective, the trend in Western culture is to value individualism and freedom from family vs. Asian culture of family closeness and living with large families.
Just as I expected my parents not to kick me out of the house once I turned 18 and help me out while I was going to university, I also expect to take care of them once they're older. And I have no problems with that.
