A myth that claims that Asian Americans are all smart, quite, assimilated and get by without any help. It ignores all the bad in Asian American communites and creates a false ideology. It was created in the 1960s to stop the civil rights movement by claiming that Asian Americans get by on their own.

1. Asian-american. Asia's best and brightest tend to immigrate to better countries so accordingly overachieve.
2. Not the model majority which can be seen by looking at the state of the country the model minority come from.

The model minority makes the average american look stupid, but so they should considering their background.

I saw this Indian guy on TikTok or Shorts or Facebook (I think it was Facebook actually) who said not to believe people when they talk about model minority immigrants and their "hard work culture" or the rates of success because he says the US is very strict in regards to who they let in. So, they only let in immigrants who they believe are going to do well. Which skews the studies showing that immigrants are generally more successful"
Hym "The 'Asian work culture' you're talking about relates more to the US only allowing model minorities to immigrate here and is literally killing young men. Japan and South Korea have fairly high suicide rates in the world for that very reason (49th and 4th respectively). 30% of men 27 and younger (in Japan) are virgins. Promoting the culture you are talking about actually has an INVERSE correlation with the outcome you claim to be trying to achieve. Instill the asian work ethic so instead of killing eachother they kill themselves. Business owners make more money off of they labor from which they benefit disproportionately. Sure, gang violence is bad but is corporate wage slavery really any better? It is if you're a fat cock. You get to fuck all the woman. It is if you're a business owner. You get all of the money."

Yeah that's something I saw some indian guy touch on that claim that it was bullshit. The immigrants already have some measure of success and are brought over here for that reason.
