I thought that this was in relation to the story she tells when she went to Florida to meet her future in-laws and she says that they treated her "too nicely". (But don't quote me on this). Any other Margaret Cho fans out there? john, i think margaret cho relates that story when she talks about social discrimination, not in reference to her parents.

This is slightly different from the Yelp woman, who is annoyed at the way white people treat her. Margaret Cho's situation is about her parents. I'm not sure if the distinction is important here, but I just thought I'd point it out. Kids often say they wish they could swap out their parents, but I doubt Margaret Cho would want to. Too much material.

Although I think the Yelp thread was sarcastic, I think it's "ok" to experience times of doubt.
