Asians of G@G, how well do you fit into the "model minority' idea in the US?

[Texaskid1]

very well

somewhat

not at all

[N192K001]

I'm highly-educated, with 2bachelor's of science degrees.

I fail in terms of being in a management-position, since I'm not in that, and have issues with people-skills, which are vital for success in management (especially in middle-management, when dealing with higher & lower managements).

Our household-income is on par… due to the rest of my family, and we're a multi-generational household.

I've got a clear record with law-enforcement, to the best of my knowledge.

We fit the family-stability (yes) and/or marital-stability (because of my parents).

So, I fit… sort of, and somewhat don't.

[LazerBean]

Amazingly. It's easy to fit in when you aren't constantly worrying that you won't fit in because of your ethnicity.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

You are Asian which Asian

[LazerBean]

Filipino

[SaoirseS]

Good point!

[BlackBeauty90]

Filipino born in the US I suppose. Your parents & grandparents if they were from the Philippines would have something much different to say. This is a very racist concept that puts what is some of the most diverse people into one lumped category.

[LazerBean]

@BlackBeauty90 my mom came from the Philippines in her 20s and says the same thing. It's quite ignorant to assume that all foreign parents raise their children to feel segregated from the society they were born into.

[LazerBean]

@Hyyiogohh Filipinos adapt well and are willing to integrate into the country they live in and take advantage of the countries opportunities. That's why we thrive everywhere we go and don't usually have incomprehensible accents like other foreigners. If you see that as a fault, but our bank accounts certainly don't.

[Marianna546]

well Asian people are cute

[BlackBeauty90]

@LazerBean - your mom is Filipino as Hyyiogohh said you don't really have an actual Asian culture per se. You're mixed. That's why you fit in so well. It's easy to assimilate when there's little to hold onto. If you were say Han Chinese or something like that it'd be interesting to see what would be said.

[LazerBean]

Every place has his own culture. The fact that you are saying Filipinos don't have culture just advertises that you don't even know what culture means. You can come back and talk to me about culture when you know what country, tribe and region your ancestors came from before they were in America.

[BlackBeauty90]

@LazerBean - I said you don't have an Asian culture per se. You are mixed. Do you NOT know your own history? Are you THAT uneducated.

[BlackBeauty90]

@LazerBean - you should ask your mother / grandparents what East Asians think of Filipinos if they ever met Chinese or Japanese from the countries. Because Filipinos are mixed with no actual culture to their own... other Asiatics don't see you as being Asiatic.

[LazerBean]

Still waiting on your country and tribe.

[BlackBeauty90]

@LazerBean - Country. Nigeria. Tribe. Yoruba. Unlike Americans, or in your case Filipino, I can actually answer that question beyond what it says on passport.

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m not a Chinese beauty queen but I think I’m stable.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Lol what?

[Anonymous]

No I wouldn't say that. They stay to themselves. Buy from themselves and keep their culture intact.

They don't really interact with American culture.

I just think they don't get messed with as much because white dudes like their woman.

And school. is enforced them.
I think Asian kids study twice the hours of normal American kids.

[Anonymous]

The model minority idea is so racist it's pathetic. And just proof that America is a country born on racism and run by racists. Nothing less than a racist sniveling country.

[zagor]

Nice crazy rant. I hope Obama realizes how racist he was.

[Opinion Owner]

@zagor You gotta be very, very, very stupid not to realize he & Biden are both very racist.

[zagor]

Explain how Obama was racist. Please.

And I'm not very stupid - my IQ is in the top.2%

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Maybe. It's because I mind my own business and not "REEE" like what Americans do.

[Imsmurter1]

I think pretty well for an Americanized Asian but not comparable to an Asian from actual asia.

[John_Doesnt]

Asians of G@G? What about the Gelgameks?

[Anonymous]

What's the "model minority" idea?
