Usually assimilating to whiteness in America. For example Obama would be the model minority for black folks. White folks believe that because one black man fits this model minority that everyone else should be able to do it too. This creates problems because structural racism will never allow for POC folks to reach that model minority thus creating stereotypes and prejudices against black folks ]]> 2017-10-20 17:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/hin2fcq8ycin/wish/199155380 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/hin2fcq8ycin/wish/199155402 A model minority is one which is considered to be in line with the norms of society, eschewing the issues commonly blamed upon other minority groups such as drugs, crime and instability. The model minority is held to be assimilate in the sense that they conform to the standards of "mainstream" society, but that same conformism can be twisted to ostracize them by characterizing them as "other" by ascribing to their positive qualities to their cultural heritage, keeping their perception as something foreign]]> 2017-10-20 17:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/hin2fcq8ycin/wish/199155402 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/hin2fcq8ycin/wish/199155432 The radicalization of Asians being above all else self sufficient, family oriented and apolitical.

In the model minority, white people use this as a way to say "hey if this one group can do it why can't everyone else? This is damaging to other races that are more heavily oppressed in that because one minority group can be successful, there is equal opportunity for all to do the same(actually not). It is also damaging to Asian Americans in that those who cannot get ahead are not seen as oppressed but lazy or underachieving and therefore, ]]> 2017-10-20 17:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/hin2fcq8ycin/wish/199155503 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/hin2fcq8ycin/wish/199155527 valorization of asians relative to other minorities

This term is used to justify how other minorities are not not up to par and puts Asian groups against other minorities.
