Model minority

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.

Hym "That sounds like a model minority thing and now evidence that what you're saying is correct."

Model Minorities

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."

Model Magic

The practice of manipulating a financial model to maintain a 2.0x return despite discovering negative information during diligence. This is often achieved by increasing exit multiples, reducing Capex, manipulating working capital assumptions, increasing revenue growth rates and increasing gross margin assumptions among other tactics. This is also sometimes referred to as goal seek modeling where every factor other than purchase price is adjusted to arrive at the desired outcome.

Associate 1: I have some bad news, the Target's recent results are well below the banker model and suggest that the declining revenue and margins are continuing vs turning around.
Associate 2: No problem, I'll just apply a little Model Magic and the return will still be 2.0x

Model Over Mind

When one prefers a fictional character model (a character's design) over their emotions and personality.

Star Wars fan 1: I honestly don't get how Boba Fett has a fanbase. He barely did anything in The Empire Strikes Back.

Star Wars fan 2: My guess is that it's a sign of model over mind. He does look pretty cool so maybe people like him just for his look.

Star Wars fan 1: That actually explains a lot.

Model Railroad

A large table that is home to scale model trains as part of the hobby of model railroading. Commonly known as a layout. Model Railroads can vary in realism from fictional (freelanced) to prototypical, and size from a simple 4x8 plywood sheet to a "basement empire". Often confused for simply running toy trains in a circle, or oval. (which it can include)

Bob: Hey Dave, you got any hobbies?
Dave: I have a model railroad.
Bob: So, you run toy trains? Dude, your 35!
Dave: *facepalm*
