America's Next Top Model Minority
Episode description
Contrary to popular belief, being a “model minority” is NOT a compliment. If you think Asians are inherently better at math, rich, or don’t suffer from the same inequality that plagues other racial groups; you're playing into the hands of the stereotype. This week, my friend Steffi (@inn_mho) joins me to debunk the model minority stereotype/myth. Why is this characterization dangerous? What makes someone Asian enough? How does assimilation affect our culture?
In the News: ABC announces the first Black bachelor. Is it too little too late? We also issue a wellness check for Britney Spears. Is she okay?
