About
High Expectations Asian Father is an image macro series based on popular stereotypes and cliches about first-gen Asian moms and dads being some of the most spartan parents in the world. Also see: Son, I am disappoint entry & Tiger Mom.
Origin
The official Tumblr blog[1] for High Expectations Asian Father was launched by Chris and Bryant on March 18th, 2010.
Spread
The image macros continued to take hold on MemeGenerator[2], reaching the “top tier” category in July 2010, alongside Technologically Impaired Duck, HAHA Guy and Hnnnnnng.

The best examples of image macros were soon picked up by blogs and user-generated platforms like Urlesque[3], MemeBase[4], Buzzfeed[5] and Asylum[6], as well as pop culture blogs like MTV’s Iggy[7] and Pop Hangover[8].
