EP #7: Excluded? The Model Minority Myth with Charlotte Nguyên

The “Model Minority Myth,” is an identity rooted in stereotypes that assumes Asian American children are academically inclined by nature, perfect/polite in various environments/skill sets, and will pursue careers in the S.T.E.M. field. What is the problem with the Model Minority Myth? Some may be confused... isn’t the idea of being disciplined, polite, and intelligent a good thing? Well, like many stereotypes, this erases the diverse identities, intersectionalities, and experiences within a group of people. This myth emphasizes the, “pull yourself up by the bootstraps ideal,” which can also erase the systemic advantages and disadvantages that play a part in one’s own success.

This week, join Bri as she dissects the outdated and problematic "myth" with Charlotte Nguyễn, a spiritual & transformational coach, speaker, activist and the pint-sized daughter of Vietnamese refugees.
