Oluo suggests a few different ways to combat the negative effects of the model minority myth. Not surprisingly, every one of her suggested strategies has to do with increasing visibility and reducing exclusion. Therefore, she suggests tactics such as entering discussions about the model minority myth, examining films and other types of media for the presence of the myth’s effects, and practicing questioning our own assumptions as we move about the world and observe people from cultures other than our own.
