There is a culture of immigrants, roughly that "American Dream" style struggle. A lot of children of immigrants have to deal with growing up in a different reality and mindset than their parents. All I ever heard in college was how my parents sacrificed, struggled, and slaved away so that their children, ie *me*, could fullfill their dream of a better life for generations to come. How laughably easy my life was compared to theirs, how could I plausably be depressed or unhappy, how ungrateful I was, because unlike them I had no clue what hard work, sacrificing or suffering even was, that's quite a burden.
