they are the model minority who doesn't control the way things work but they will never upset the status quo because they have a position of acceptance by their Anglo Saxon counterparts.
Sure. I suppose so but placing them into a role of being at the slace aunction just kind of irks me. I get it, Asian Americans have a hard history on the states as well (railroads, camps, etc) and were able to get out of the struggle and now be seen as a "model minority" but part of that is racism and prejudice as well.
"Smart, nerds, unathletic, domicile, nonconfrontational, etc" are how society/Hollywood portray them, but in reality it's quite different, especially for the darker skin Asian Americans. Besides it's mostly the African Americans and the Whites perpetuating these stereotypes.
I mean it's a fact that some Asians buy into white supremacy and benefit from it (The Latasha Harlins story).
I'm sure some white people was irked by the movie too but it's the truth.
