The “model minority” myth explains that Asian-Americans are the only minority who worked hard to become self-sufficient in the 1960s. For this reason, African-Americans and Hispanics are seen as the opposite. This myth only raises the idol of white people, discriminates and prejudices against ethnic minorities.
I agree that the “model minority” myth portrays white Americans as superior.
Yes, the model minority myth pitted Asian Americans against other minority groups and still idolized white Americans.
Asians work very hard is no doubt because they were trained this way by their parents.
