The Model Minority

As someone who is Asian, I embrace it, even if I don't necessarily fulfill it. Why? Because it's a standard. Sometimes "doing it your own way" it quite juvenile, unsurprisingly uninteresting and mostly devoid of anything "truly cool."

It comes to no surprise that many are trying to debunk this myth in order to level-out the race card. We can't have blacks looking bad. We can't have a standard - hard-working, good grades, obedient, stable, respectful - that makes those who aren't those things, or hold such values, feel bad about themselves.
