She is talking about Asian-Americans and how differently they raise their children now than they used to in the past. Although there are still 'stereotypical' Asian parents who want their children to become doctors and scientists, there are also those who support their children's dreams of becoming athletes and following another path than the one their parents set for them. She talks about Jeremy Lin on one hand, and her brother Bob on another - Lin's parents supported his athletic career wholeheartedly whereas her parents wanted Bob to become a doctor, despite his obvious athletic skills in lacrosse.
