In thinking about anti-Asian violence and the model minority myth as systemic and institutional forces that reproduce racial inequality, rather than mere expressions/actions by individuals, answer the following question:
• What killed Vincent Chin?
In answering the question, you must offer 3 specific, historicized factors:
• 1 factor must draw from the immediate socio-economic context of Detroit/the US in 1982
• 1 factor must draw from the longer legacy of anti-Chinese hostility in the US
• 1 factor must be the model minority myth
The essay will be assessed on how well you connect your three historicized factors to the specific events that took place the night of Chin’s murder. It will also be assessed on how well your use relevant course readings, videos, and lectures/discussions to provideevidence to support your points, as well as your explanation/analysis of the relationships between the evidence you give and the points/thesis you offer.
