About Model Mythology Podcast

From the publisher's feed

The model minority myth undermines the diverse experiences of the Asian community, overgeneralizing a demographic that encompasses a variety of successes and struggles. This dehumanization of Asians is designed to create division amongst racial communities to benefit white supremacy. This podcast highlights and uplifts all Asian voices and celebrates the idea that there is no one way to be, look, or feel Asian. This, is Model Mythology.
