Are you a member of the Model Minority?

So the Model Minority Stereotype paints AAs as hardworking and economically and academically successful.  But, we're also seen as passive, unaggressive, inscrutable, and non-team players.

Have you ever experienced this stereotype?  
If so, how did you handle it?  

Does it bother you?  

Are you proud of being a member of the model minority?

Please tell us your story.
