Paradoxically, though, this was one stereotype that served its targets well. Lee said students who were subject to irrationally high expectations usually rose to meet them. Surrounded by brainy classmates only happy with “As,” they adjusted their own notions of what it means to do well. Assumed to be a “smart Asian,” as Lee put it, they put extra effort into their coursework in order to live up to expectations of their ethnicity.

“What you have is a self-fulfilling prophesy where initially what is untrue becomes true,” Lee said. She calls it the “stereotype promise.”

Lee’s findings are the inverse of social science we’ve heard about before. For the past two decades, researchers have been investigating the “stereotype threat” — how negative assumptions about certain groups can undercut their performance. It’s been used to explain why high-achieving African American students sometimes struggle when they get to college, why talented women may underperform in STEM fields.

In the Los Angeles area, where Lee and her colleagues surveyed 4,800 first-generation Americans, the children of Mexican immigrants were most likely to be affected by the stereotype threat. These respondents told Lee that they were rarely taken seriously as students. They weren’t offered help preparing for the SAT and weren’t advised to apply for four-year colleges. If Mexican American students wanted to get into a selective school, they had to be their own tutors, their own guidance counselors.

Lee’s finding challenges the assumption that gaps in achievement are purely cultural, that “tiger moms” and community regard for education entirely explain Asian American students’ success. The perception of a culture can be as influential as the culture itself.
…
While black students may worry that their failures will reinforce negative assumptions about African American achievement, Asian American students who didn’t meet the high expectations set for them “didn’t feel Asian,” Lee said. One man told her that he was “the whitest Chinese guy she’ll ever meet,” because he didn’t fit the stereotype of a high-achieving Asian. The pressure can lead to mental health issues, like anxiety and depression.

And the positive stereotypes that serve Asian Americans well in school can act against them once they’re in the workforce. They have a harder time attaining leadership positions because they’re seen as diligent and thoughtful, rather than bold and creative, according to Lee. She noted that Asian Americans made up 6 percent of college students (slightly more than their proportion of the U.S. population) but 2 percent of college presidents. In Silicon Valley, Asian Americans are 27 percent of the workforce but just 14 percent of executives.

The stereotype promise may help Asian American students get a degree, Lee said, but the “bamboo ceiling” stops them from achieving as much as they could with it.

Position Description
The University of Louisville is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity, Americans with Disabilities Employer, committed to diversity. In that spirit, the Department of Physics and Astronomy announces a tenure-track Assistant Professor position that will be filled by an African American, a Hispanic American, or a Native American Indian

Another article, published by The Review in November, detailed what students said were instances of cultural appropriation carried out by Bon Appétit. The culinary culprits included a soggy, pulled-pork-and-coleslaw sandwich that tried to pass itself off as a traditional Vietnamese banh mi sandwich; a Chinese General Tso’s chicken dish made with steamed instead of fried poultry; and some poorly prepared Japanese sushi.

“When you’re cooking a country’s dish for other people, including ones who have never tried the original dish before, you’re also representing the meaning of the dish as well as its culture,” Tomoyo Joshi, a student from Japan, told the paper. “So if people not from that heritage take food, modify it and serve it as ‘authentic,’ it is appropriative.”

By HasphatsAnts Go To PostShit. I've been there! Plan failed.

By HasphatsAnts Go To PostI didn't play with the filter so I don't know how bad it really was, if it was yellowface at all. But given what they went through with the Bob Marley bullshit you'd think they'd be extra careful.

A 21-year-old college student was at a popular Southern California food festival Sunday night when he allegedly had racist remarks thrown at him and was physically assaulted, he said.

The victim, who is Vietnamese American and wishes to remain anonymous, told NBC News that he was standing in line with his girlfriend at the OC Night Market around 9:30 p.m. when he was approached by two women he described as white. The women asked if he could purchase drinks for them as a way to cut the long line, he said.

When he refused, the women left and came back minutes later, when one allegedly told him to "go back to Asia" where he could "go eat dog," the victim said. A white man with tattoo sleeves accompanied the women and allegedly punched the victim once in the face before several security guards apprehended the man and women and escorted them off the grounds, according to the victim.

The victim and his girlfriend later walked to his car in the parking lot shortly after 11 p.m. when a black four-door sedan pulled up next to them, he said.

According to the victim, the man and one of the women who were removed from the market exited the vehicle and began beating him. The victim's girlfriend attempted to hold off the woman and was hit in the face while the man hit the victim, bloodying his cheek and damaging his teeth, before the pair returned to their car and drove off, the victim said.

Orange County Sheriff's Department Lt. Lane Lagaret told NBC News that the attack is currently being investigated as an assault and battery, and not as a hate crime.

"Based on the statements filed, we've determined that, while a racial comment was made, this wasn't a racially-motivated crime," Lagaret said.
