Arise of the Asian American UC admissions


Ka Pou Sin
Week 3 Reflection


                The Asian Americans are being recognized as the “model minority” because of their higher admissions in the Universities and the first non-white group to have the privilege of SP-1 and SP-2. I believe this is the result from the higher education requirements and levels that they have in China, because they are stricter to their students. While, here in the US, education is not as pressured and it is more based on the student’s willingness to work. Also, the history of racial discrimination may have motivated the Asian Americans to be more hardworking, in order to get accepted in the society and to get a job. Therefore, the result of the hard working Asian Americans is that the University is getting a greater Asian American population.
