Francois Chau Is Your Angry Asian Dad

                         

Here's Francois Chau in 21 and Over, playing a no-nonsense, strict, in-your-face dad with a facial expression that can strike every audience member with so much fressure (fear + pressure), they can essentially feel what it's like to be an Asian kid for 2 hours.

In this storyline, he has a son, which means—what else? Med school!

Bummer.
And here's Francois Chau in Chris Brown's video Fine China, playing...the same guy.


But this time, he has a daughter, which means—you got it! Your boyfriend is a THUG.

Oh, and triads. Francois Chau is leader of the triads.

My face too, girl.
I'll let his character speak for itself, "He's an outsider. Thug. You've shamed yourself. AND THIS FAMILY! I cannot continue to protect you. YOU WILL PUT AN END TO THIS!!! Orrrr I willlll."

If I've learned one thing, it's that Asian Dads are all about HONOR! and shame. and SUCCESS! and sadness. and FAMILY! and destroying relationships.

"Don't speak to me about what makes my family happy"- Francois Chau, Asian dad & triad leader
 Francois Chau is ALL THE DADS!

Note: Francois Chau is awesome. But can there please be more than ONE stock Asian dad caricature?
