This is an excellent paper out of Harvard, studying Asian American youth in various high schools in America.  A common phenomenon was Asian American youth who, in order to fit in, felt they had to reject their ethnicities and assimilate by ‘acting White’ as their model.  Additionally, it covers negative stereotypes about Asian students, damage from the model minority stereotype in college admissions, and how some Asian Americans were embarassed or ashamed to hang around other Asian Americans (no solidarity).

The link to the paper can be found here: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1082148


Here is a Washington Post article about this.

Fallout Central also had a link awhile ago about this.
