Document Summary
2012: pew research center, a nonpartisan think tank based in washington, d. c. , released a report saying that the number of asian immigrants has surpassed the number of latino immigrants. The report said asian americans place more value on hard work, career success, marriage, and parenthood than other americans. Led people to believe that their values about hard work and success drive their exceptional outcomes. Authors lee and zhou are critical of the way pew framed its findings. Because the report endorsed a neoconservative political platform that supported the belief that high socioeconomic outcomes result from adopting the right cultural values. Reinforced the stereotype of asian americans as the model minority . Asian americans have the highest median household income and level of education of all groups, including native-born whites. This is because it is not easy for low-skilled, uneducated laborers to come to.
