Every time I hear the term "model minority" it's always coming from leftists reeeing that we Asians break their idea that minorities can never do well. Conservatives only point out that it's our culture of two parents and discipline that helps us do well.
You should ask them if jews are a "model minority" or if they are white. ;^)
That is great, because there are some choice responses you can make either way they answer yes/no
What I was thinking: if jews are white then white people have experienced systemic racism and extermination, AKA; lolercaust
If jews are not white, then white people are not disproportionately in positions of power.
Yeah, the Ghanians, Guyanese, South Africans.... Basically any black group that arrived in the 20th century and beyond behaves nothing like the slave descendents who arrived in the centuries beforehand.
If I was a successful black immigrant from one of those groups... I would be TERRIFIED of my child growing up and identifying with the slave-descendents and absorbing their culture.
It happens in Britain, of all places, you fucking know it is happening in the US.
It's the opposite of the slave degenerate effect. It being fairly hard to immigrate here from Africa means that you get the most ambitious Africans. Whereas the slaves were bred to be compliant, among other things.
Seriously. I have never heard the term 'model minority' from anyone but a leftist, and I have never heard it followed by anything but a complaint about how its a flawed concept and blah blah blah.
It was probably said by conservatives once upon a time, but I'd be surprised if it was at any point in the last 30 years.
Seems like something that was or would be used by racists today. Or used by people to point out racist thinking.
You're American loyalists. That's why they hate you.
