A “model” and a “problem”. It’s another way I’d describe being “mixed up”. It sums up my experience of being a mixed kid. There’s so many analogies I could make under these categories.
“MODEL”
-Model Minority
-Asian/proximity to whiteness
-interracial love
– is something to be followed/achieved
“PROBLEM”
– Problem Minority
-Black
-interracial hate
– Is something to be avoided
The idea of “model” and “problem” exists on a spectrum.
