NOTE the following points about the model minority from our upcoming readings and how they relate to both WHO KILLED VINCENT CHIN? as well as BETTER LUCK TOMORROW:
The notion of model minority emerged in the 1960s, during the rise of the Civil Rights Movement which was led by African American citizens.
This construction of the model minority was based on the political silence of Asian America, and had less to do with the actual success of Asian Americans than to the perceived failure of African Americans to assimilate.
In other words, the ideological function of the model minority myth is to compliment Asian Americans at the expense of Black Americans, to encourage their political silence as model rather than resisting discrimination or fighting for civil rights or defying ones expected position in the social-racial hierarchy.
