Mythbusters was a rather popular show about people taking myths and determining whether they were actually true or not through experimentation. Among its contributions is this brilliant line by one of the hosts, Adam Savage: “Failure is always an option.” Savage has explained that it is more than a cute line.

“I think Asians in the United States were always seen as outsiders,” Wong says of the stigmas that face Asian Americans. “I think the model minority myth was really not to help us so much but used against other minorities, you know?

[We’re] the model minority, we’re the virus or Yellow Peril… They [are all] dehumanizing because it’s all stereotypes.”
