Why are Asian Americans called the "model minority" in the United States?
What will be an ideal response?
Asian Americans include individuals of Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, and Southeast Asian origin, each group having distinct ancestries and languages. The diversity of Asian Americans is reflected in their educational attainment. Some achieve a high level of education; many others have little education. For example, 90 percent of Korean American males graduate from high school, but only 71 percent of Vietnamese males do. Such diversity in Asian Americans is often overlooked because many Asian Americans are very successful in school achievement, don't take health risks, and don't engage in delinquent behavior. Because of these characteristics, they have been referred to as the "model minority." However, many Asian American students experience adjustment problems that include loneliness, anxiety, and depression.
