Good article, but it also mentions how "model minority" stereotype is also detrimental. There are multiple ethnic backgrounds for Asians (south/India, east/China, southeast/Vietnam to name a few) with varying degrees of success.

The most striking success of Asian-Americans, and the one most commonly highlighted in the media, is in educational attainment."
