The model minority seems so be the ‘acceptable outcast’ or as said in the article “the non threatening person of color”.  The idea of being a ‘Model Minority’ comes with the acceptance of allowing people to be prejudice towards you.  In this way racism comes as a joke and not as a physical assault and not as a direct insult. In the majorities eye you just seem to be a foreigner, a visitor to say the least but you’re still in some way accepted The idea of a model minority means that as the lesser then you stay out of the way of the majority, in this way reducing your relevance. This then being threatening to the value of their being.  In this case the author is speaking of asian Americans as being the ‘model minority’ to which he goes on to state, “the end of Asian Americans only happens with the end of racism and capitalism.” The writer speaks on the fact that White Americans use asians to fulfill their American dream economically. Asians work for cheap and Americans get what they want, this is what allows Asians to be some what accepted in the first place. Although the help was forced, Americans still receive what they want. With that statement the author is inviting the idea that the term ‘Asian American’ would only diminish once racism and capitalism decease. They will be seen as just people or just Americans when they are no longer seen as the ‘Model minority’ that helps the Americans succeed. I have never really thought about the concept of there being a ‘Model minority’, however the terms makes a lot of sense. I do see asians as being the ‘tolerated’ minority, versus other people of color and clearly there are other people that see it as well, hence why there is an article written about it. I think if we can all see it then why is it so hard to get rid of this ideology?
