In this article, I think the NYTimes attempts  to inform its readers about stereotypes many may have regarding Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders and education. They report that it is believed that Asian Americans are ‘taking over campuses’. They refute this by saying Asian Americans are not an homogeneous group. They can be from Samoa, Japan, Korea, India or even Malaysia, each country with its own unique culture. The article then perpetuates other stereotypes by saying people from this country don’t finish high school while those from that country will earn graduate degrees. Problems because of the continuing stereotype? Higher admission standards for these students.
