The Model Minority Myth implies that Asians and Asian Americans should be looked up to as role models for minorities. Not only does this demean other minorities, but it also holds people to a standard created in subservience to the White majority. It also can create internal struggles for Asian Americans who may feel pressured to be "better" or more successful to live up to the standard.

The Model Minority Myth is the fallacy that Asian-Americans are an example of the “successful” or high achieving minority in the US. It is often used as a wedge between minority groups and serves to divide communities through the misbelief that if you “work hard” like Asians, then other groups should too. The myth is harmful for all communities of color and downplays both the historical discrimination against Asians and the many Asians that do not fit the stereotype, such as those who come from war-torn countries and refugee backgrounds as these groups have lower attainment of bachelor’s degrees, lower household incomes, etc., showing that Asian-Americans are not a monolith when the data is disaggregated.
