I would begin by looking at what the model minority is. This wikipedia article talks about it and even addresses your question to a degree:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_minority
if someone made the following statement asian americans and Pacific Islanders are a model minority, how would you explain that the statements are misconceptions and why or why not.
include whether you think most americans believe these mixconceptions, and why or why not.
