Question about Asian GLOs

I think it goes beyond "model minority", but I can't figure out what exactly. I believe there's several other stereotypes about us that don't exactly make us look any more "model".

As a social scientist, I can say that starang21 is correct. It is about the percentage of the total U.S. population and the "model minority" stereotype. Studies that include a substantial Asian sample usually need to oversample to get a comparable sample size.

These studies, such as criminological studies, have largely concluded that Asians are the least likely of the minority groups to participate in certain types of deviance and "suffer" from social ills that many minority groups in America "suffer" from. This is usually explained through "their" upbringing. That also supports the "model minority" stereotype.

Sung Joon Jang is one of a relative few researchers who makes it a point to study Asian Americans. One interesting study that does not specifically address intermarriage is Jang's 2002 "Race, Ethnicity, and Deviance: A Study of Asian and Non-Asian Adolescents in America" that can be found in the journal Sociological Forum Vol. 17 No. 4.

What other stereotypes of Asians are there that don't fit into the "model minority" stereotype? There are none that I can think of because this stereotype is so vast.
