Model Minority Is a Myth

Yes, the idea of a "model minority" is racist! Its very creation is rooted in white supremacy - coined in the 1960s to compare and contrast different racial groups relative to their closeness to 'whiteness' at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the US.  And despite its name, it's causing real harm to the community it's meant to compliment.

Joining us on today's podcast is Cherie Wong, a policy analyst, advocate and the founder of Alliance Canada Hong Kong, a grassroots Hong Kong-Canada community organization that mobilizes civic actions in support of the democratic development of Hong Kong.
