Document Summary
It cannot be proven scienti cally that any race is more intelligent than another (as seen by morton"s work). Race is a social construct and has pushed white supremacy while causing other racial groups to face discrimination. Japanese success story--praises japanese for climbing over racial barriers and praises their community for helping each other. Business hardship and immigrant realities/zhou--patel motels make many. Indian americans seem like autonomous entrepreneurs, but the reality of the daily discrimination they face is hidden. In the new chinese america, zhao shows how higher class asian americans are able to take advantage of low-cost immigrant labor from china. This makes it seem as if the middle/upper class asian americans are doing well, so they are awarded the title of model minority, but it hides the suffering of the underclass. The term model minority itself suggests that foreign ethnic groups are seen as.
