Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Model minority refers to a minority ethnic, racial, or religious group whose members achieve a higher degree of success than the population average. It is most commonly used to label one ethnic minority higher achieving than another ethnic minority. This success is typically measured in income, education, and related factors such as low crime rate and high family stability. The term is often characterized as a myth which amounts to racial stereotyping. In the United States, the term is associated with East Asian Americans, primarily Chinese, Korean, and Japanese Americans and Indian Americans. A common misconception is that the affected communities usually hold pride in their labeling as the model minority. Statistics are often cited to back up their model minority status such as high educational achievement, overrepresentation at Ivy League and other prestigious universities, and a high percentage of Asian Americans working in white collar professions, while some Asian Americans hold pride in the model minority image
