It's funny that she only focuses her attention on Chinese-Americans, when Indian-Americans are significantly more successful and have contributed far more to the model minority stereotype. Of course, people don't know that because Indians are only considered "Asian" when the Chinese want to take credit for their achievements.

MuscIeBomber2021 I don't think Asians include Indians.

At least that's what is taught in my country.

Indian are just Indians, "subcontinentians" maybe? When we say "asian" we mean Japanese, Korean, Chinese and all SE Asians. I know Indians are successful but not every topic is about you

Something you don't do because you seem to not understand why this myth is so divisive and dangerous.
