According to the readings the term “Model Minority” comes from this idea that Asian Americans are more astute, shrewd, crafty and capable to all other races in the nation. This would make other minorities such as black/african/caribbean and latinx/hispanic/spanish look inferior intellectually and does not seem to give a fair fighting chance at being academically powerful. Asians are already stereotyped as being wealthy and intelligent, and have high standards. Asian families usually expect their children to be a doctor or lawyer and to make a lot of money, being second place to success, right behind white/caucasian/european americans.

Asian American students are suing Ivy league schools believing that other minority students are being treated more fairly than they. Racial quotas seem silly, that people only get accepted to schools because of their race. Most people feel okay with this. People play the race card when it’s convenient for them but talk about racial equality so that people don’t seem different. No one should be discriminated against but there are people who have it hard in life people of their skin color so it seems a little fair that they get some type of help to get through college and get a good job, but we should never take out privilege for granted and never try to seem like a victim. When it comes to race some people can be hypocritical.
