America's Next Top Model Minority

<p>Contrary to popular belief, being a “model minority” is NOT a compliment. If you think Asians are inherently better at math, rich, or don’t suffer from the same inequality that plagues other racial groups; you're playing into the hands of the stereotype. This week, my friend Steffi (@inn_mho) joins me to debunk the model minority stereotype/myth. Why is this characterization dangerous? What makes someone Asian enough? How does assimilation affect our culture?</p><p> </p><p>In the News: ABC announces the first Black bachelor. Is it too little too late? We also issue a wellness check for Britney Spears. Is she okay?  </p><p> </p><p>In the News: (12:40)</p><p> </p><p>Main Topic: (23:50)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>FOLLOW me on Instagram:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/justin_alzi/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/justin_alzi/</a></p><p> </p><p>FOLLOW the Instagram:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/polaroppositespod/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/polaroppositespod/</a></p><p> </p><p>Follow Steffi on Instagram & YouTube: </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/inn_mho" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/inn_mho</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCklr6p469bw5bC6RKxWRLww" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCklr6p469bw5bC6RKxWRLww</a> </p><p><br /><a href="Head to www.warbyparkertrial.com/polaropposites" target="_blank">Head to www.warbyparkertrial.com/polaropposites</a></p><p> </p><p> to order your free Home Try-On’s today.
