Asian Americans and the Model Minority

In Key Facts About Asian Americans, a Diverse and Growing Population (Lpez, Ruiz & Patten, 2017), the authors note that Asian migration to the United States increased by 72% from 2000 to 2015, which is the fastest growth rate of any major racial or ethnic group (Lpez et al., 2017, para. 4). Yet, Asian Americans are still perceived as a model minority, and the animus directed towards other immigrant groups does not seem to be leveled at Asian immigrants. Read Lpez et al. (2017) and apply concepts from the text to explain why Asian immigration is not as feared as immigrants from other parts of the world. What characteristics described in the article might be responsible for the muted reaction?

critical application of theoretical concepts from the text (and any other academic sources you wish to include) to the statistical and descriptive information provided by Lpez et al. (2017). The attributes you select and the analysis you provide will likely depend on the theoretical perspective to which you feel mostly aligned, Functionalism, Conflict Theory, or Symbolic Interactionism.

Criteria Ratings Pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome1. Selection of Attributes: Identifying possible reasons for the perception of Asian migrants
20.0 to >18.0 pts
EXEMPLARY Student identifies three or more highly plausible attributes described Lpez et al. (2017) which likely explain why Asian immigrants have not been a target of anti-immigrant ire.
18.0 to >16.0 pts
GOOD
16.0 to >14.0 pts
SATISFACTORY Student identifies one or two plausible attributes described Lpez et al. (2017) which could explain why Asian immigrants have not been demonized.
14.0 to >13.0 pts
MARGINAL
13.0 to >0 pts
UNSATISFACTORY Student selects attributes that are not likely to be causal factors, such as identifying stereotypes instead of attributes described in Lpez et al. (2017).
20.0 pts
This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome2. Analysis: The application of theory and logic to explain how/why the attributes identified have muted anti-immigration biases
20.0 to >18.0 pts
Student offers an insightful explanation of the causality of Asian immigrant attributes to explain why anti-immigrant prejudice and discrimination have not increased for these immigrants.
