One of the reasons for the invisibility of #AntiAsianRacism is inextricably connected to #ModelMinorityMyth. The myth focuses on #stereotypes of #Asians as hard-working, independent, intelligent & economically prosperous.

Stereotypes hide many issues & disappears the realities of working-class #AsianWomen’s lives.

The myth has also sometimes disrupted #InterRacial #solidarity & has been used against #Indigenous, #Black & other #RacializedGroups
