The Paradoxes of an Indian American Youth Culture

One thing that Maira wrote that really stood out to me was about the parental approval that accompanies the Indian American youth party scene. A young woman was quoted, "I think they like us to go because it keeps you hanging out with the Indians." This is the first instance I have ever heard of a party scene being parent-friendly--does this take away from its appeal to the youth? Are there other examples of aspects within youth cultures in which parents encourage their children to participate? I feel a lot of youth movements are about empowerment, coming into ones own, and fighting what is expected of them--are there other examples where partying or other behaviors of the like are encourages?
