Ep. 120: Meta Model Minority Myth (ft. Bryant)

Diana, returning guest Bryant, Teen and Mark have a long discussion about the model minority myth (MMM). Do concepts like racial melancholia and racial dissociation contribute to the confused understanding of what exactly the MMM is and did white people incept them into our minds? How does it act differently as an interracial force, Asian used against Blacks, and as an intraracial one, recent Black immigrants against ADOS.
