Model Minority

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.

Just because I am Asian American and wear glasses does not make me your model minority.

Abercrombie and Fitch

Store that became infamous because they won't hire minorities and for creating a t-shirt that set back the Asian American movenment 100 years.

Person 1: Hey have you seen that A&F Two Wongs make it white shirt?
Person 2: Yeah, that's some racist ass shit. What's next, a guy with a queue pulling a rickshaw?
Person 1: (sarcastically) Haha, racism and ignorance is hilarious.
