The term "model minority" both dismisses an individual's hard work, blood, sweat and tears,and keeps other races down. At first it sounds like a compliment, but it's not.

If a bully is about to beat me up but thinks twice because Bruce Lee movies make him or herthink all Asians know kung fu, then I benefit from that false assumption. While that mightmake me temporarily glad, in the long run, it's just another step in the gantlet of Asianstereotypes: math nerd, geisha, dragon lady.
如果一个霸道的人想要打我,但由于李小龙(Bruce Lee)的电影让他误以为所有亚洲人都会功夫,所以动手时有所顾忌,那么可以说我受益于这种错误的设想。这或许会让我高兴一时,但从长远来看,却加剧了对亚裔的刻板印象:数学呆子、艺妓和恶龙女。
The expectation of success in itself is a problem. Princeton University has already produced astudy that shows in college admissions, Asians need higher SAT scores. Moreover, if you havegreat grades, but not supersonic, epic, straight A-pluses in all AP classes, you are justconsidered a loser. By your own family. Asian kids of America, you are more than your gradepoint average and your accomplishments on paper. Asian parents, some of you are driving yourkids to suicide. So lay off!
