How MMM ia harmful

pedrocruz51 — 2023-11-29 02:44:17 UTC

When paired with racist myths about other ethnic or racial groups, the model minority myth is used as evidence to deny or downplay the impact of racism and discrimination on people of color in the United States.

pgarcian2 — 2023-11-29 02:45:12 UTC

Believing that all Asian students are high performances.

Good at Science and Math

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:47:00 UTC

Model Minority Myth is that Asian students are benefiting from the American dream.

All asia students are build for success.

CRT (Culturally Responsive)

estefanialopez19 — 2023-11-29 02:47:20 UTC

MMM ignores the diversity of our students. But if we were switch the narrative and teach it we can use it to be a culturally responsive/ social justice lesson to showcase the disparities in their representation.

It puts a lot of pressure on students of Asian heritage. this model perpetuates a stereotype that Asian Americans are smarter than other races.

2023-11-29 02:48:18 UTC

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:48:31 UTC

Asian students are the perfect, model, straight A students.

CRT/MMM

mariamartinez137 — 2023-11-29 02:48:53 UTC

CRT is a systematic racism is part of American society relation to MMM by putting people of color in competition with one another, the myth distracts us from striving together toward liberation for all.

CRT

pedrocruz51 — 2023-11-29 02:48:59 UTC

We must make a conscious effort to represent Asian American and Pacific Islander history and people in our classrooms, regardless of our own identities and those of our students.

More American than...

estefanialopez19 — 2023-11-29 02:49:01 UTC

Asian American students and people are often seem as having assimilated better than other ethnic groups.

Critical Race Theory

c0ff33man2_ — 2023-11-29 02:49:21 UTC

Possible connections to critical race theory is that Asians are not the model minority because at the end of the day they are not white. As we have learned CRT favors whites and anyone else is subject.

All asian students are characterized as polite, law-abiding, and hard working.

juanmartinez312 — 2023-11-29 02:49:40 UTC

2023-11-29 02:50:18 UTC

MMM is harmful because it exposes the person to a predetermined stigma and limits their abilities before they even try which leads to deficit mindset.

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:50:31 UTC

Perpetuates a narrative about tiger moms.

Lesser diversification greater exclusion

edwardsayegh — 2023-11-29 02:50:48 UTC

The model minority myth ignores the diversity of Asian American cultures.

The model minority myth operates alongside the myth of Asian Americans as perpetual foreigners.

The concept of that all cultural background should be respected to protect students’ identities.

2023-11-29 02:51:07 UTC

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:51:36 UTC

Asian Americans are polite law-abiding group that have achieved a higher level of success than the general population.

mariamartinez137 — 2023-11-29 02:52:10 UTC

That Asian students are extremely disciplined. Not the students to get in trouble but rather the students to be high achievers.

EXAMPLE

edwardsayegh — 2023-11-29 02:52:31 UTC

Expecting better performance from a student based solely on their race or ethnicity.

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:53:31 UTC

Holds Asian students to an unrealistic standard. If standard is not met, must be a deficit of the student.

MMM Main Idea...

estefanialopez19 — 2023-11-29 02:53:32 UTC

MMM pits people of color against one another and creates a hierarchy in which Asian people are often at the "top."

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:53:54 UTC

Negates individual differences.

All Asians have to get good grades. They can't make mistakes in a subject such as in Math.

2023-11-29 02:54:00 UTC

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:55:07 UTC

"If you don't fit the myth, it is hard to find your place at all."

MMM main idea

pedrocruz51 — 2023-11-29 02:55:11 UTC

Check your own biases and assumptions and don't let a student "slip through your cracks" based of race or ethnicity

Main Idea of MMM

mariamartinez137 — 2023-11-29 02:55:27 UTC

The model minority myth hides the pressures and paradoxes inherent within an Asian American identity. If you don’t fit into the myth, it is hard to find your place at all.

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:55:40 UTC

Lumps together the experience of a large, diverse group of people.

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:56:04 UTC

Promotes "othering" of Asian Americans from other Americans.

estefanialopez19 — 2023-11-29 02:57:33 UTC

Stereotypes whether positive or negative (mmm as prime example) are harmful to the culture and its longevity. It also perpetuates that while Asian Americans "assimilate" better they are still separate from whites.

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 02:58:14 UTC

Model Minority Myth works to downplay Critical Race Theory by suggesting that if a group worked harder or were better citizens, they could achieve higher status, like Asian Americans have.

2023-11-29 02:59:42 UTC

CRT supports an antiquated, prejudiced, ideal that all should learn and develop in a way that fits the stereotype of the minority that they have been associated with; just as MMM supports a deficit mindset limiting students to how they are perceived and conditioned to perform in society.

amandalawson3 — 2023-11-29 03:00:14 UTC

Puts the onus for success on the individual (or group), regardless of systemic hurdles.

DEFINITION

edwardsayegh — 2023-11-29 03:01:31 UTC

The idea which states that, certain minority groups suffer discrimination via stereotyping the intellectual capabilities of the children and cultural and occupational aspects of the parents.

2023-11-29 03:02:28 UTC

Students can be viewed as outcasts if they perform in a manner that is not fall in line within the stereotypes placed upon them by societal norms due to their presumed race and/or ethnicity.
