Growing research has explored the impact of ethnic stereotypes on mental wellbeing amongst Asian Americans, one of the most rapidly expanding ethnic groups in the United States (United States Census Bureau, 2010). The stereotype of Asians in America as an academically and economically successful ethnic group who have “made it” in America are often labeled as a “model minority” (Lee et al., 2009).

In that case, I believe that nobody should be defined purely based on what they look like.
