1. Discrimination comes from any direction, it might include heritage issues, traditional related issues, or any racial discrimination towards the family. Even through the media we were introduced to interracial family where some of the women were “sold” or volunteered to support their family from poverty.

    My Capstone project is a website that describes how Asian Americans are portrayed as a model minority.
