The portrayal of Asians as the "model minority"

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The idea of Asians as the "model minority" ignores the diversity among Asian ethnic groups and the specific challenges they face, such as language barriers and discrimination. It also implies that other minority groups should be able to achieve the same level of success without addressing systemic inequalities they face. The portrayal also overlooks the fact that many Asians experience unemployment, underemployment or misemployment. This stereotype emerged due to socio-economic and political circumstances that arose after World War II and the Korean War, rather than their success in computer modeling.
