Within the model minority rhetoric, Asian Americans are represented as â€œgoodâ€ minorities and African Americans are represented as â€œbadâ€ minorities. Here, the achievements of Asian Americans are used to discipline African Americans. As model minorities, Asian Americans achieved the status of â€œhonorary Whitesâ€. Again it is important to point out that the honorary whiteness of Asian Americans was granted at the expense of Blacks. It is also significant that as â€œhonorary Whites,â€ Asian Americans do not have the actual privileges associated with â€œrealâ€ whiteness.

If I learned one thing, it is that self-doubt is one of the most destructive forces. It makes you defensive instead of open, reactive instead of active. Self-doubt is consuming and cruel. And my hope today is that we can all collectively agree to ban it. .â€‰.â€‰. Think to the moments of your life when you forgot to doubt yourself. When you were so inspired that you were just living and creating and working. Pay attention to those moments because they're trying to reach you through those lenses of doubt and trying to show you your potential."
