How               does               the               model               minority               stereotype               affect               Asian               Americans               in               regard               to               their               academic               performance               and               why?

While               examining               the               average               Scholastic               Aptitude               Test               (SAT)               scores               by               ethnicity               and               gender               the               question               came               up               as               to               why               Asian               American               students               scored               on               average               higher               in               the               math               section               than               all               other               ethnicities               including               White               students.

Through               readings               in               Anderson               and               class               discussions               a               strong               correlation               between               the               income               of               a               family,               primarily               the               income               of               the               father,               and               the               child's               SAT               scores               was               found,               but               is               there               something               more               behind               the               academic               success               of               Asian               Americans               (Anderson,               446;               Class               Notes,               5-28-04).

American               society               is               caught               up               in               the               quest               for               intelligence               and               understanding               what               contributes               to               academic               success.

Therefore,               it               is               important               to               examine               why               Asian               American               students               are               seen               as               intelligent               and               model               minorities.

The               term,               "model               minority"               refers               to               the               idea               that               Asian               Americans               are               successful               because               of               their               strong               work               ethic,               family               cohesion,               and               their               ability               to               assimilate               to               American               society               (Gotanda,               94).

Are               these               characteristics               of               Asian               Americans               cultural,               biological               or               both?

In               addition,               it               is               important               to               see               the               effect               of               the               model               minority               stereotype               on               Asian               Americans               both               on               a               personal               level               and               on               an               educational               institutional               level.

On               a               personal               level               the               stereotype               could               affect               a               students               academic               performance               and               how               one               view               oneself.

While               on               an               institutional               level,               the               way               a               teacher               views               a               student               could               effect               one's               performance               and               the               way               a               school               views               Asian               Americans               could               effect               acceptance               into               the               school               and               the               student's               education.
               For               centuries               people               tried               to               determine               if               intelligence               is               biological               or               innate               through               various               experiments               and               studies.

This               "scientific               racism"               can               be               seen               in               Samuel               Morton's               study               on               the               size               of               the               human               brain.

Morton               obtained               800               skulls               from               all               different               races               and               filled               each               skull               with               sand,               measuring               the               capacity,               and               after               finding               the               averages               of               the               brain               capacity               per               race,               Morton               determined               that               the               English               have               the               largest               brain               size,               so               therefore               must               also               be               the               smartest.

However,               there               are               many               other               studies               done               including               IQ               tests               to               different               groups               of               people               in               different               regions               of               the               world,               but               there               are               variables               that               cannot               be               attributed               for               such               as               background               and               social               or               cultural               disadvantages               (Fong,               81).

In               addition,               IQ               tests               are               really               no               guarantee               to               be               the               best               way               to               measure               intelligence               either,               but               there               is               no               agreement               on               the               best               way               to               measure               intelligence               (Yoo,               74).

"Testing               may               not               have               specifically               set               out               to               'prove'               the               inferiority               of               racial               ethnic               minorities,               but               it               lent               support               to               widely               held               assumptions               of               racial               inferiority,               difference,               and               hierarchy               in               American               society"               (Yoo,               75).

However,               there               are               many               studies               that               deal               with               how               one's               IQ               has               a               high               correlation               with               the               income               of               the               family               and               the               person's               educational               attainment               (Suzuki,               30).

Also,               in               the               video,               Race               -               The               Power               of               an               Illusion,               the               experiment               the               students               did               in               comparing               their               DNA               strands               with               fellow               students               of               various               race               and               gender,               proved               that               genetically               there               are               very               few               differences               between               people               of               different               races               (Race               -               The               Power               of               an               Illusion).

Therefore,               if               complex               traits               like               intelligence               cannot               be               encoded               in               the               genes               or               biology,               then               possibly               one's               cultural               values               and               experience               affect               Asian               Americans               performance               in               school.
               Another               theory               as               to               the               intelligence               of               Asian               Americans               is               based               on               the               cultural               values               that               are               instilled               in               them.

Getting               a               good               education               among               Asian               families               is               significant               because               they               feel               that               is               necessary               to               have               a               good               future               in               America               (Lee,               58).

In               addition,               Asian               American               students               are,               "motivated               by               a               sense               of               guilt               and               responsibility               to               their               families"               because               many               Asian               families               make               many               sacrifices               to               allow               their               children               the               opportunity               to               get               an               education               in               America               (Lee,               68).

In               fact               a               study               in               Chicago               found               that               a               high               amount               of               Asian               American               parents               would               be               willing               to               give               up               their               own               financial               security               to               help               further               their               children's               education.

Also,               within               Asian               families               there               is               the               mentality               that               the               academic               success               of               the               child               reflects               the               parents'               success               in               raising               their               child,               which               puts               more               pressure               on               the               child               to               do               well               (Fong,               94).

The               sense               of               filial               piety,               the               respect               that               one               has               for               one's               parents,               contributes               to               the               family               cohesion               of               Asian               American               families,               which               creates               a               desire               to               uphold               family               honor               and               to               please               one's               parents.

Asian               American               parents               also               take               a               more               active               role               in               the               child's               life               through               setting               up               preparation               courses               for               SAT's,               picking               the               schools               their               child               attends,               and               possibly               even               what               career               path               the               child               takes               (Fong,               86,93).

Therefore,               there               is               a               very               strong               work               ethic               among               Asian               American               students               due               to               all               the               pressure               put               on               them               from               cultural               mentalities               and               from               familial               responsibilities,               but               some               say               these               cultural               aspects               are               not               enough               to               explain               Asian               American               student's               academic               performance               because               they               do               not               account               for               outside               factors.
               The               theory               of               Relative               Functionalism               combines               elements               from               the               influences               of               culture               and               other               structural               and               historical               factors               (Lee,               54).

Due               to               these               cultural               views               such               as               the               importance               and               necessity               of               a               good               education,               Asian               Americans               might               also               narrow               their               education               scope               to               the               hard               sciences               and               to               fields               of               education               that               they               perceive               as               acceptable               according               to               the               model               minority               stereotype.

Also,               Asian               Americans               could               gravitate               to               those               areas               of               hard               sciences               because               of               language               barriers               or               racial               limitations,               which               are               all               structural               factors               that               constrict               Asian               Americans               into               these               areas               of               education.

Therefore,               the               theory               of               Relative               Functionalism               still               supports               the               cultural               mentality               of               the               importance               of               an               education               and               how               it               will               get               them               a               better               job,               but               also               incorporates               the               different               structural               and               historical               experiences               these               groups               face               (Fong,               87-88).

However,               even               though               this               theory               broadens               the               understanding               of               Asian               American               academic               performance,               it               still               does               not               address               those               students               who               are               struggling               in               school               (Lee,               54).
               Even               though               the               model               minority               stereotype               is               flattering               to               the               Asian               American               community,               it               creates               many               problems               for               both               the               individual               and               for               institutions,               which               in               turn               affects               the               individual.

The               model               minority               stereotype               puts               Asian               American               students               under               a               lot               of               pressure               to               do               well               in               school               and               succeed               (Fong,               61).

However,               there               is               still               a               large               population               of               Asian               Americans               who               are               not               succeeding               and               doing               well               in               school,               which               causes               these               students               personal               and               emotional               dilemmas.

When               students               do               not               perform               as               well               as               their               parents               would               like,               there               are               feelings               of               failure,               which               can               cause               children               to               be               very               self-critical               of               themselves               and               even               suicidal               (Fong,               93).

There               are               many               Asian               American               students               who               are               not               doing               well               in               school               yet               do               not               seek               help               from               tutors               or               teachers               because               they               would               rather               hide               behind               the               model               minority               stereotype               and               not               deal               with               the               shame               of               disproving               the               stereotype               (Lee,               61).

In               addition,               by               conforming               to               the               stereotype               or               not               fitting               into               the               stereotype               these               students               are               being               forced               to               lose               their               own               voices               because               in               fulfilling               the               stereotype               the               student               loses               his/her               individuality               (Fong,               9).

Likewise,               if               a               student               is               not               being               successful               in               the               eyes               of               his/her               parents               the               student               is               inclined               to               not               speak               to               anyone               about               his/her               problems               or               get               help               because               by               expressing               these               things               to               people               would               bring               dishonor               to               the               family,               which               causes               them               to               lose               their               voice               as               well               (Fong,               61).

However,               many               of               these               students               who               are               not               doing               well               still               work               hard               in               school,               but               in               many               situations               since               their               English               proficiency               is               so               low               it               puts               them               at               a               disadvantage               in               all               of               their               other               classes               (Lee,               60).
               Even               though               there               is               a               need               for               bilingual               education               and               remedial               English,               the               educational               system               in               California               has               eliminated               the               program               due               to               Proposition               227               (Fong,               91).

Lee               talks               about               how               at               Academic               high               school               there               is               a               program               called               ESOL,               which               incoming               freshmen               take               if               they               are               struggling,               but               this               class               is               looked               down               upon               by               the               students               fellow               peers.

Therefore,               not               only               do               students               not               want               to               be               in               the               class,               they               consider               themselves               as               'losers'               and               do               not               see               the               value               in               trying               to               become               a               'winner'               (Lee,               65).

This               therefore               affects               the               teacher's               attitude               and               reactions               towards               these               students,               which               perpetuates               the               downward               spiral               of               how               this               student               sees               him/herself               and               his/her               academic               performance.

The               teachers               described               in               Lee's               book               all               take               the               stance               that               Asian               American               students               are               good               and               easy               to               teach               because               they               are               well               behaved               and               don't               cause               much               trouble.

However,               when               a               teacher               is               asked               about               one               of               the               Asian               American               students               who               is               not               doing               as               well               the               teacher               describes               him               as               being,               "bright,               but               lazy"               and,               "not               like               my               other               Asian               students...he's               capable               of               doing               better".

Through               these               quotes               it               is               apparent               that               these               teachers               have               very               positive               viewpoints               of               Asian               American               students,               and               teachers               even               said               they               passed               Asian               American               students               just               because               he               or               she               was               a               good               person               (Lee,               62-63).

Therefore,               the               projection               that               the               teacher               puts               on               these               students               affects               the               performance               of               the               student               through               the               self-fulfilling               prophecy.

When               a               teacher               puts               a               label               on               a               student,               the               teacher               tends               to               act               towards               the               student               in               the               way               he/she               views               the               student,               then               the               student's               behavior               matches               what               the               teacher               labeled               him/her               as,               the               teacher               then               sees               the               students               performance               and               confirms               the               initial               label,               and               lastly               the               student               accepts               the               label               as               part               of               him/herself               (Anderson,               452).

Based               on               the               self-fulfilling               prophecy,               it               is               possible               for               teachers               to               evoke               a               desired               academic               performance               from               the               student               based               on               how               the               teacher               perceives               Asian               American               students.

In               Academic               high               school,               since               the               teacher's               favored               Asian               American               students,               the               success               of               the               Asian               American               student               population               is               reflected               in               the               high               amount               of               Asians               being               in               the               top               10               of               the               school               (Lee,               62,               56).

With               an               increase               of               Asian               American               students               being               in               the               top               of               their               classes,               this               also               effects               how               institutions               and               colleges               see               Asian               American               students.
               Even               though               the               amount               of               Asian               American               students               to               get               into               the               Ivy               League               schools               and               undergraduate               programs               like               University               of               California               at               Berkeley               is               increasing               there               was               a               point               where               Asian               Americans               were               discriminated               against               and               faced               difficulties               in               getting               into               certain               schools               and               establishments.

For               example,               at               UC               Berkeley               from               1983               to               1984               there               was               a               drop               in               the               amount               of               Asian               American               students               accepted,               which               is               seen               as               being               a               discriminatory               practice               due               to               the               anti-Asian               sentiments               on               campus.

After               close               scrutiny               of               UC               Berkeley               and               many               other               schools               including               Yale,               Princeton,               Stanford,               and               UCLA               a               decrease               in               the               amount               of               Asian               American               students               accepted               were               found.

These               schools               did               not               admit               to               practicing               discriminatory               acceptance               policies,               but               blamed               part               of               the               high               admission               rates               of               non-Asians               to               children               of               alumni               (Fong,               103-104).

Therefore,               the               way               that               institutions               view               the               model               minority               Asian               American               student               affects               the               student's               access               into               a               school               and               effects               his               or               her               education               as               well.
               The               model               minority               stereotype               affects               Asian               American               students               in               regard               to               academics               in               many               ways.

Based               on               the               cultural               influences               and               values               that               are               instilled               in               an               Asian               American               student,               a               sense               of               filial               piety,               a               strong               work               ethic,               and               the               desire               for               a               good               education               are               ingrained               in               the               child,               which               affects               the               students               academic               performance.

The               model               minority               stereotype               might               push               students               to               work               harder               to               please               their               parents               and               to               fulfill               the               role               that               teachers               or               their               peers               might               have               for               them,               which               puts               these               students               under               a               tremendous               amount               of               pressure.

Or               students               might               hide               behind               the               model               minority               stereotype               because               they               are               ashamed               to               show               people               their               failure               to               fulfill               the               stereotype.

In               addition,               the               model               minority               stereotype               affects               one's               academic               performance               in               the               classroom               as               well               based               on               how               the               teacher               and               institution               views               Asian               American               students               through               the               self-fulfilling               prophecy               theory               and               acceptance               policies               into               their               institution.

Therefore,               even               though               the               model               minority               stereotype               might               be               positive               on               the               surface,               the               affect               it               has               on               education               is               both               good               and               detrimental.
