Two reasons these stereotypes are inaccurate and harmful are that Asian students are often bullied and Asian adults are denied leadership roles.
Why did these stereotypes arise?
- Because Americans saw Asians as very disciplined people.
- Because Americans associated the technological development of East Asian countries with Asian Americans.
The "model minority" stereotype was created by the thought that all Asians are smart and successful. This thinking is harmful, because, like any other social minority, Asian Americans live with limited access to social resources and are the target of racism and prejudice.
This causes many Asian American students to be pressured and even shamed for not being the best in their classes. In addition, Asian Americans have been barred from assuming leadership positions.
