"Those Asian-American Whiz Kids"
Media
Description
The August 1987 cover of TIME Magazine, featuring a group of Asian-American students who are referred to as "whiz kids." This framing of Asian-American students as good, docile students — implicitly, compared to other minority groups — is an extension of the model minority myth.
