凯特·贾, 我的亚裔猫爸猫妈. 纽约时报, Oct 18, 2016
http://cn.nytimes.com/opinion/20161018/my-asian-pussycat-parents/

, which is translated from

Kate Jia, My Asian Pussycat Parents. New York Times, Oct 17, 2016 (blog).
www.nytimes.com/2016/10/17/opinion/my-asian-pussycat-parents.html

two consecutive paragraphs:

"They [Asian Americans] make up just 5 percent of the United States population, but constitute about 20 percent of the student body at Ivy League colleges.

"This academic edge, however, comes at a hefty cost. Asian-American students have higher rates of suicidal ideation than white college students, and these pernicious thoughts translate into behavior. At Cornell University, there were 21 on-campus suicides from 1999 to 2006, 13 of which were Asian students. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where 16 percent of students are Asian, Asians accounted for 42 percent of student suicides in the last 15 years.

Note:
(a) The author and her parents came from Taiwan: "An only child in an Asian family, I had just moved with my family from Taiwan to Los Angeles."
(b) "Kate Chia, a 2015 graduate of New York University, is studying copywriting at Miami Ad School."
