Asian CRT incorporates additional knowledge of Asian
American racial realities into the CRT.
One of the core tenets of CRT is there is no singular
experience even within the people who share the same
group membership. This anti-essentialism is well suited
to understand the misconception of Asian's model
minority.
Asian CRT Some communities had to come to the U.S. because their Atlanta Shooting
native country pushed them away (i.e., push factor). In
contrast, some came to the U.S. for the benefits they could
have in the future, such as educational opportunity and
social mobility (i.e., pull factor) (Mark and Johan, 2020).
Thus, diverse experiences among Asian Americans
challenge coalition-building among all the Asian
subgroups to deconstruct race and racism in the United
States.
