Asian American women face racial and sexual stereotypes in higher education, and social engineering in society is to blame for the vice. Nonetheless, the issue can be overcome by understanding the origin and motive of reverse social engineering. Besides, most people hardly notice the oppression because activists’ media portray African Americans as the only oppressed minority group in academic hierarchies of power. Likewise, society falsely positions Asian American women between the dominant and minority groups in the country – discrimination can hinder the development of a society. Thus, the authors remind us not to ignore the oppression of Asian Americans in higher education. Racism and sexism also discourage Asian American women from pursuing higher education due to the unfavorable learning environment.
Consequently, the intersectional sexism and racism undermine the efforts to end the oppression of the group. Interestingly, the authors urge society to address racial and sexual challenges that face Asian American women in institutions of higher learning. Still, the education system is partly to blame for social engineering. For example, elite institutions developed socially engineered ideas to control Asian American women in higher education. Moreover, socially engineered ideas have no scientific evidence about a particular social group. Therefore, the misinformation in the country’s educational system causes the vice. Nevertheless, the institutions of higher learning can address the issue by embracing diversity and inclusion in all policies and practices. Furthermore, higher education leaders should consider the interests of minority groups in organizational culture and encourage staff and students to promote equality. Asian American women should also empower themselves and demand fair treatment. Besides, they need to come together to promote social justice in institutions of higher learning.
