Being the “Model Minority” isn’t a compliment with Thamara Subramanian
As a south Asian American, Thamara Subramanian dives into a personal and historical recollection of the model minority myth and reveals that is not a new or millennial phenomenon, but instead a historically misconstrued tool of oppression. She affirms that there is a way to balance pride in identity without perpetuating oppression towards other people or even oneself. Thamara inspires us to gain knowledge of the things we may internalize as a positive notion and be cognizant of myth versus reality.
