Question 8 • CA-Ethnic Studies

Which statement best describes the concept of the "model minority” myth as it relates to Asian Americans?

Answer

It recognizes the diverse challenges faced by various Asian-origin groups.
B
It emphasizes the need for cultural assimilation among Asian Americans.
C

Explanation

The “model minority” myth stereotypes Asian Americans as uniformly successful, often portraying them as more prosperous or academically accomplished than other racial groups. This ignores differences among Asian-origin communities and the barriers many people face. Therefore, the best choice is “It suggests Asian-Americans achieve higher socioeconomic success than other groups.”
