The fantastical, unicornlike super-Asian depicted in the breathless statistics in the media may not exist. Our Tao Jones columnist tells us why.

Love this essay by Jeff Yang. He shows exactly why the “model minority myth” is dangerous. quote: “the tragic history of antisemitism teaches us how this kind of ethnic admiration is but one face of a coin that can flip all too quickly to its uglier side.
“Minority groups that are perceived to have obtained disproportionate success provoke envy, misdirected scapegoating and ultimately, a bloody backlash. That’s especially the case when the minority group is one that is phenotypically obvious — and even more so when that phenotype ties them to countries that are in direct geopolitical rivalry with ours.”

About neaat
The NETWORK OF ENTERTAINING ASIAN AMERICAN TALENT ORG is an independent site for information on Asian American Arts, Talent, Culture, and Entertainment. NEAATO started as a myspace page under http://www.myspace.com/asianamericannetwork and also a blog in 2007 (http://www.neaat.wordpress.com/) by Donnytello Tran. The idea was made when we noticed our friends on Myspace were posting more information about their work online through bulletins instead of waiting to get published in magazines or an Asian American Blog. We decided to put all these ‘posts’ together and share it with anyone that was interested and NEAATO was born.
The current NEAATO blog site is http://www.neaato.com/. NEAATO was inspired by Bruce Lee’s quote: “"To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.”
