Tsai, Yang and Hui at the Movies: “Not Your Model Minority”
May 25, 3 – 5 p.m. (PT)
The movie “Not Your Model Minority” explores the model minority myth and its intersections with past and present anti-Asian violence. The film reveals how the myth has been used to create a wedge between communities of color, while also examining opportunities to build power towards addressing system racism in America.
