Problem

A short and brief conclusion for this problem he term model minority was introduced by sociologist William Peterson in his 1966 article in The New York Times Magazine about the success story of Japanese Americans in the United States. In the article, Peterson asserts that Japanese Americans-despite facing intense racism and discrimination (including internment during World War II)-achieved success in a way that other minority groups had not. In citing the reasons why he believes this occurred, Peterson contrasts Japanese Americans with groups he labels as problem minorities-those he says had failed to overcome the barriers placed on them by the majority.
