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.
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.
