It’s also important so that AAPI students can feel noticed and other non-AAPI students can be educated. https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407739616 2022-12-04 00:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407739616 https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407739699 The MMM is based on stereotypes where Asian Americans are perceived to have achieved a higher level of success compared to others. ]]> 2022-12-04 00:41:23 UTC https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407739699 https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407739823 Because they feel that it motivates them to do their best and I do feel that some of my perseverance is from the expectations associated with AAPI.]]> 2022-12-04 00:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407739823 Keeping a connection with our culture is important, however it is also important to look at the things that the AAPI community has gone through, as well as how we should map out improvement for the support that our community receives, as well as the resources we see necessary. https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407740147 2022-12-04 00:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407740147 https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407740198 Learning about AAPI history is so important because many of our stories are often disregarded or brushed off.

The history can help us gain a better understanding of different cultural groups. https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407740271 2022-12-04 00:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407740271 AAPI history has a strong influence on AAPI students.

If it was coined by another group, it would not have the same purpose because the model minority myth really pits minorities against each other. https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407741573 2022-12-04 00:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407741573 https://padlet.com/olivianarikim/cw5peb6xgbse797f/wish/2407742181 Especially when considering the time period, the nation was still widely divided on race and as such, white superiority was prominent.
