This panel will review the anti-Asian racism in the U.S. history, critique the Model Minority stereotype using Critical Race Theory, and recommend multilevel strategies that social workers can adopt to eliminate anti-Asian racism, including culturally competent assessment techniques and intervention strategies, community-based solutions, and policy initiatives on eliminating anti-Asian racism.

Learning Objectives:

  1. The participant will be able to describe the Anti-Asian racism and xenophobia in U.S. history, at both individual and institutional levels, and how this has operated to marginalize Asian Americans and reproduce inequality. They will also describe the racism, xenophobia, and violence against Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  2. Conduct an overview of the origins of the Model Minority Stereotype (MMS), list examples of how the MMS impacts the health and well-being of Asian Americans, critique the MMS using Critical Race Theory, and list recommendations on how social workers can disrupt the MMS across micro, meso, and macro levels.
  3. Describe specific, multilevel strategies that social workers can adopt to eliminate anti-Asian racism in the U.S., including assessment techniques and intervention strategies that are culturally attuned and responsive to the unique needs of Asian American/Asian individuals, community-based solutions, and macro practice methods.
