    The evidence Lee provides is essentially accurate because she herself is an Asian American woman. She has dealt with the “model minority” stereotype in her own life experiences so it makes her a good candidate to be researching the students at AHS. Although Lee is an educated ethnographer,it does leave room for her results to include inaccuracies. When she first arrived at the school to begin researching, she noted that “in addition to my ethnic/racial identity and social-class identity, I discovered that my gender, age, American-born status, and position as a graduate student influenced how students reacted to me” (Lee, 2009, p.20). Some of the students recognized these pieces of her identity and then accepted her into their lives.

  • Latina/O Students In Higher Education: A Case Study

    Thus, CRT will be used as a means to allow Latina/os to express their experiences. Further, CRT scholars would argue that those with minority status have an inherent competence to speak about race and racism (Delgado & Stefancic, 2001; Solórzano and Yosso, 2002). The primary purpose of this study was to advocate for the needs of Latina/o students in higher education, and provide information that could ensure that their needs are being met and that they feel supported in higher education. Thus, CRT will be used as a framework to discuss the continued marginalization of Latina/o students attending higher education and allow for their voices to be understood. Finally, Critical Race theorists contend that while more virulent forms of racism may
