Do you believe that Asians are a model minority?

Question

Some may say that Asians can come to the U.S. with little or nothing and still be successful...Do any of you believe this to be true? Why or why not?

a model minority is basically meaning they are more likely to be highly educated and succesful than all the other minorities.....

Answer 1

No. I don't believe it true. I have seen some crazy as* Asians too. There are Asian gangs, sell drugs. Asians people murder each other too. I don't think Asians face the same discrimination as African Americans. Many Asians buy into the same negative stereotypes that whites have of African Americans. You are right. Asians can come over her get a loans and start a business while African Americans are continuously denied business loans. We could be qualified too. What are you doing to try to help the African American community? Many of your customers are African Americans. When Asians do have their business, I never see you hire any African Americans. You hire your own. Can Asians come to the U.S. and be more successful than blacks? Yes. Because blacks are still considered second-class citizen. Many Asians especially women married white men too. You are sound a little white supremacist like you want to be superior over another race. That's not cool.

Answer 2

what is a 'model' minority? Asians and some other groups too borrow money from a collective pot so that they never need to borrow money at ridiculous interest rates from banks. They have a high regard for education and therefore succeed in that area too. However, I understand that the most educated minorities are Iranians/persians. So, any minority who can work the system is doing the American thing.


So, basically most likely to live like upper middle class whites?

Answer 3

they're stated simply by fact the "form minority" simply by fact our society stereotypes them to be relatively clever, stable at math and technological know-how, all med. college or engineering hopefuls, etc. The checklist is going on. This possibly is as a results of the actuality that throughout the time of maximum situations their way of life fosters a solid artwork ethic. yet it relatively is all it relatively is, and that's basically in maximum situations. There are exceptions. the the remainder of yank way of life ought to do a similar for its toddlers if we tried. easily, however, communicate candidly to 3 of them and that they permit you to appreciate that the "form minority" attractiveness places a large type of undue stress on them. think of the strain on little ones whilst all human beings seems to them and expects them to be suited right away A scholars who're freed from flaws. they're basically common human beings too. Stereotypes are continuously unfair, even "stable" ones.

Answer 4

Thanks for the definition, I would have never been able to figure that one out with all my education and all......and to respond to your question.....no, I don't see it that way, Asians seem to be afraid of nonconforming...they tip toe through life here in America......which I believe resides from their treatment here in America in the 40's

Their decisions seem to be fear based....

Answer 5

they know there is an oppurtunity and they take advantage of it. but then again if they were a stupid race they wouldn't know how to take advantage of it so they must be a smart race.
