Are you serious?
"Asian Americans"* meaning those of Korean,Japanese, Chinese descent have been given the "model minority" tag partly because of traditional values from their cultures that stress education, the consistently high test scores on standardized tests, and generally the lack of "complaining" as you are phrasing it about slights, insults, "jokes" at their expense in pop culture or by public figures.


Newer generations of Americans of Asian background aren't going for that anymore though.Not gonna remain silent so that others can feel comfortable anymore.


*clarified because I'm on a few British forums and 9 times out of ten, when Brits are talking about Asians...they are referring to Indian,Pakistani folks. In America, when we say Asians....we're talking about East Asians.
