Intelligent. Hard-working. Quiet. Obedient. Analytical. High-Achieving.
These are the pervasive #stereotypes of the #ModelMinority #myth some #AsianCanadians & #immigrants say plagues every aspect of their lives, keeping them from being seen & living as their full authentic selves.

#tbh my rage & concern isn’t for myself; i’m stubborn as hell altho mistaken for compliant often #modelMinority

my spouse is a genetic freak that has very high resistance to coronaviruses. We have no children & we’re both germaphobes w/myself obviously greater of the 2

if i were in the dental field, would be wearing #PAPR & full #BSL3 gear to work; for that matter, any job tbh

when #BillHader has given in, you know #gaslight & societal pressure is too much for any individual to bear

it’s super power I’ve rarely had to use & I’m also pretty high on the spectrum of #riskAdverse non-confrontational so when jt comes to myself, if I can walk away/shut up I will

Usually I’ve been surrounded by people doing nothing to react so I’ll instinctively intervene. It shocks people because normally my appearance presents as pretty conservative

As #modelMinority #firstGen we’ve been taught since small children to blend in..

"The success rate of proposals led by Asian scientists is about 20 percent below the overall rate — a disparity that has persisted for two decades and runs counter to the common narrative that Asian Americans dominate the sciences and engineering fields in the United States."
