The concept of a model minority was created 3 decades ago, it was about Asian American. Asian-Americans are considered smart and are well-law-abiding and effective. And it has also fueled the stereotype that Hispanics and African Americans are prone to crime and depend on welfare.
Based on the readings and videos, we can see the inequity between Asian America and Americans of other backgrounds. For example, based on the video, it can be seen that the strategist Edward Blum is the one who put his faith in the Asian American. Furthermore, the universities have a very high number of Asian American. Harvard College has a very high Asian American admitted number each year, higher than black students. And that shows a very clear disparity between the students.
Another thing I find very interesting is the end of the video. Hasan said “for those in Asian community who keep insisting, “we just want equality! We’re American citizens. Treat us like Americans” Fine…. You truly are an American. You just happen to be the worst kind”
I am Asian and this is my opinion. If you want someone to be fair to you, then what you should do is show to everyone what you are capable of and how well you do it! I am Asian, of course I will not compare Asians with any other skin color. But the important thing is that other people only judge a person or a group by what they can do and they could done something very well. Why do some people have such a good judgment about Asian American or Asian? Because as Hasas mentioned in the Video it was “he took the SAT only 1030 points” but he knew that the number would be too little for the Chinese. Because in fact, the Chinese may have more than 1030! Like I said, not all Asians are the same. Not all Asians are good, but I firmly believe that the Asians are all working hard to show themselves what they can do!
