While Asian Americans are seen as more successful, rich, and intelligent, other groups such as African Americans and Hispanics are seen as the exact opposite. They are often seen as gangsters or not smart in society, and anytime a member of the community becomes successful in any way, often people find it suspicious to how someone of that group could become successful. They put their thoughts and say they must be selling drugs or are involved in illegal concepts.<\/p>\n<p>I think this myth is reproduced by the way parents treat their children. Asians are already stereotyped to be the smartest race. Children of these families feel a lot of pressure from their parents to become doctors or lawyers, or just have to acquire a high paying and important career. Their parents pressure them by saying they moved to this country so they can have a better life. I feel this isn\u2019t fair, they are human as well and shouldn\u2019t be treated differently because of stereotypical standards that they\u2019re forced to live up to. They should do what their heart desires and become what they want in life. However, if you are Asian and you aren&#8217;t rich, don&#8217;t have a good job, you would be humiliated for the rest of your life. Therefore, we need to stop with these types of stereotype, because not only does it make one group seem superior to others, but also brings down and shames the other minority groups. It also discriminates against other groups, making them feel they are not smart or intelligent as others. They would feel less privileged.<\/p>\n<article id=\"post-953\" class=\"post-953 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-discussion-board-8\">\n<header class=\"entry-header\"><\/header>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the reading \u201cThe Racial Triangulation of Asian Americans,\u201d Kim explains how the Model Minority is a stereotype that categorized Asian Americans as more \u201csuperior\u201d or \u201csmartest\u201d minority groups.
