The model minority myth

It's an interesting concept that doesn't seem discussed very much, but I thought this young woman laid it out incredibly well. So, I just wanted to share:

Very interesting discussion here of the dangers of lumping all Asians (and, by extension, any other race) into a single monolithic group and using what might be considered complimentary stereotypes as a weapon against other non-privileged groups.

Sadly, given the responses to similar Asian-themed posts, I would not expect much discussion of this either. But thank you for sharing it.
