From the Paper:

"This study will examine anti-Asianism in the United States. Every source consulted for this analysis emphasizes the fact that Asian-Americans have suffered from anti-Asian prejudice of various sorts, from the subtle to the brutal. Why, then, is there so relatively little consciousness about this anti-Asianism in the United States?


Takaki writes that a major reason for this ignorance on the part of many observers is the glut of media coverage of the successes of Asian-Americans, which would seem to suggest that they could not be the victims of racism. As we read in Takaki's Strangers From A Different Shore:


Today Asian Americans are celebrated as America's "model minority." . . . The celebration of Asian-American achievements in the press has been echoed in the political realm ."
