I need help. I have a final about Asian American being the Model Minority, And how is it harm full, this what I got so far, If it sound wrong to you give me fee back
The model minority stereotype describes that all Asians are extremely smart, passive and obedient. With that in mind Asian are supposed to be the minority group that is able to overcome their struggles, proving that racism does not exist in American society. Many people, including many Asians, view this as positive stereotype because it shows that Asians are willing to work hard to achieve success without complaining about racism as a barrier to hold them back. However this can also be a harmful stereotype as well. For instance, if all Asians are stereotyped as extremely smart they can be perceived as “nerds,” which is actually considered as a negative stereotype. Which can cause Asian to be the victims of humiliation and violence. This show how the model minority stereotype can cause just as much harm, if not more then positive.
model minority, Asians are viewed as the racial group who has assimilate and forgets about their culture. Being perceive as the one who made it, over came discrimination and became successful can be positive, however it is also harmful mentally and spiritually because they are saying that Asian American History is not important and it has no value.
