“The way it works…is that Asian-Americans are evaluated not as individuals, but against the thousands of other ultra-achieving Asians who are stereotyped as boring academic robots.” 

“There are people who insist that the ‘Model Minority Myth’ is at least a ‘positive’ stereotype. Better to be racially typecast as a smart, overachieving Ivy League-bound nerd than someone who is lazy or criminally violent, right? 

WRONG. All stereotypes are negative. The Asian ‘Model Minority Myth’ creates a faceless monolith that trivializes individual achievement. It also erases one’s humanity. And we know what happens when an entire race of people is devalued to nothing more than an unfair and inaccurate stereotype. The results are NOT good.”

2 Kings 19:5-7

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

5 When King Hezekiah’s officials came to Isaiah, 6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid of what you have heard—those words with which the underlings of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 7 Listen! I am going to put such a spirit in him that when he hears a certain report, he will return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the sword.’”
