You should definitely check out the books Gene Yu wrote about having to shed the negative aspects of his asian upbringing when he went to West Point and joined Army SF. I definitely recognized a lot of the cultural programming that our parents (if they are recent immigrants) instilled in us that could potentially hold us back in the west.
