Model Minority Myth Hurts Asian Americans (by Margaret Chin and Yung-Yi Diana Pan)

Margaret Chin @ Hunter College and and Yung-Yi Diana Pan @ Brooklyn College wrote this opinion piece about the Model Minority Myth in Washington Post. The three main arguments they made are

  1. The model minority myth about Asian Americans obscures racism against Asian Americans
  2. The model minority myth about Asian Americans renders Asian Americans invisible to larger society
  3. The model minority myth about Asian Americans implies that Asian Americans don’t need anti-racist programs
