Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how internalized beliefs in the Model Minority Myth (MMM) among Asian Americans are linked to increased anti-Black attitudes and opposition to affirmative action, by examining how these beliefs serve to justify racial inequalities.
  • Using data from 251 Asian American college students, the research shows that higher levels of internalized MMM—such as the belief that Asian Americans are achievement-oriented and have unbounded mobility—predict greater support for just-world beliefs and racial colorblindness, which in turn reinforce anti-Black attitudes and opposition to affirmative action.
  • The findings suggest that internalized MMM functions as a legitimizing ideology that maintains racial inequalities by promoting colorblindness and just-world beliefs, highlighting the need for awareness and challenge against these stereotypes within Asian American communities.]
