The Model Minority Myth, which overlooks the differences between individual Asian ethnicities, is still alive and well in the United States. This concept has been further perpetuated by the Pew Report that was released a few months ago that negates a variety of factors that prevent certain groups from succeeding. Join the discussion on this issue to understand and deconstruct how this theory affects our API community in the South Bay and beyond.
We will be discussing such issues as:
* At-risk youths
* A rise in homelessness
* Low income families in need of government assistance
* and many more!
Don’t forget to invite your friends and RSVP to the event on Facebook as well as Eventbrite!
