What is a model minority? It is a term the media is using often in conversations of the AAPI community. One thing we must always be mindful of is the way oppression works. Because if you keep the folks you are oppressing fighting one another, perhaps they will miss that the real enemy is the oppressor!
In this episode, Chelsi and Dr. Catherine Meeks discuss these questions and truths around minorities and the passive acceptance that is a part of their social cultures.
