    Model Minority Pyramid represents the social construction in our society where White people was on the
    top of anyone else and receives the privilege from the other group. The middle represents Asians/Asian
    Americans in which they are better than the other group but still being affected by the top layer of the
    pyramid. The bottom of the pyramid represents Africans/African Americans and usually Brown communities
    like Hispanic. They are seen at the bottom where there is no privilege, and they were considering at the bad
    one.These layers cause a further problem between the middle layer and the bottom layer. We will discuss
    this matter in another lecture.
