Tuesday 2/22 Discussion: Breaking the Model Minority Myth (Part 1) Sponsored by APALSA

As one of our Diversity Week events, on Tuesday, 2/22 the Asian Pacific American Law Student Association (APALSA) will present the documentary Breaking the Model Minority Myth Part 1: A Two-Part Discussion About the Asian-American Experience from 11:50-12:50 in Wade Auditorium.

This documentary, hosted in a two-part viewing and discussion, will explore how the Model Minority Myth impacts both Asian-American and Non-Asian-American youth and how associated negative bias carries into adulthood.

Part One of the discussion will center the importance of early education, cultural competence/exposure, and how misconceptions about the Asian American Pacific Islander community further racial tensions generally.

Lunch will be provided. This is an in-person student event for people from all demographics!
