Review of Model Minority Article
edit- There are several references missing throughout the article, and several of the citations linked at the bottom are not working.
- The article begins disaggregating how the model minority myth impacts different Asian demographics, but only does so for Southeast and South Asians. There is no specific section dedicated to the model minority myth and East Asians in the United States. The term South Asians is also often used as a synonym for Indian Americans, even though this is inaccurate as the region of South Asia includes several other countries/demographics.
- The model minority myth has been evidenced to impact people of different genders in different ways. There is no mention of how the myth may impact women and queer folk different than cisgender men.

Proposed Merger: Model Minority & Model Minority Myth
editThese articles are BOTH discussing the same stereotype. And, as has been written in numerous places (Time Magazine 'How the Model Minority Myth of Asian Americans Hurts Us All'; CNBC 'How the model minority myth holds Asian Americans back at work - and what companies should do'; NPR ' 'Model Minority' Myth Again Used as a Racial Wedge Between Asians and Blacks; USC Pacifica Asia Museum 'Debunking the Model Minority Myth'; National Cancer Institute ' 'Model Minority' Stereotype'; 'Unraveling the Model Minority Stereotype: Listening to Asian American Youth' by Stacy J. Lee, and even more dangerously described as the flip side of the coin of the money-mad Jew/Asian rendered seemingly positive (Transgressions of a Model Minority by Jonathan Freedman; etc); and the list goes on, it is being addressed in most of the current discourse as a stereotype that is harmful to everyone, whether the group described as such or an outside group, whether it has become a self-identifier or is externally applied. What is the point of having two articles on the same topic? Why not merge them both into one under the subsection of stereotypes? Model Minority Myth and Model Minority Stereotype are two names for the same thing. Why not merge the content and state them as name variations? Thoughts?

Statistics: Update
editStatistics should probably be updated to include African countries, as an extremely high percentage of immigrants from various countries in Africa hold a Bachelor's degree or higher and the chart does not include this. KnowTheManyHistories (talk) 02:22, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
