How does the model minority stereotype pit Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) against other minority groups?
1) Assumes that the struggles of other disenfranchised groups are due to their own personal failures rather than structural inequalities in society (e.g. 'blame the victim')
2) Claims that obedience, silence, and assimilation are better than demanding social change
3) Blames other disenfranchised racial and ethnic groups for their struggle
