Notley Tide and University of Texas at Austin's Center for the Study of Race and Democracy partnered on a virtual community conversation featuring panelists Dr. Eric Tang (Associate Professor in the African and African Diaspora Studies Department and director of the Center for Asian American Studies), Dr. Peniel Joseph (Founding Director of CSRD), Elise Hu (Ted Talks Daily, NPR), and moderated by Minh Vu (Director of Strategic Programs, Notley). The panelists explored how the Model Minority Myth of Asian Americans has been used to uphold the status quo in the U.S. and how it has continued to play out in society today, its effects on the Asian American community as well as other communities of color, and how we can dismantle it to advance racial justice.
