Minority invisibility has gone unnoticed in the communication
discipline. It denies the existence of racial problems by
consciously or unconsciously downplaying, ignoring, or
over-simplifying the issues. This is evidenced from the claims of
color-blindness and reverse discrimination, the belief in model
minorities, and exaggerated, negative, or purposeful racial
displays that permeate American culture. Using in-depth interviews
with Asian-American professionals from various metropolitan areas,
this study investigates these professionals' perceptions on
minority invisibility and model minority status. It explores Asian
Americans' ethnic consciousness on four levels, discussing how the
group perceives their individual invisibility, their group members'
invisibility, the invisibility of other American co-cultural
groups, and finally their expectations in changing minority
invisibility in the United States. The work considers diverse
viewpoints on minority invisibility, model minority, satisfaction
and dissatisfaction with mainstream American culture, and
co-cultural ethnic relations. This study is useful to graduate and
undergraduate students and researchers with an interest in race
relations, Asian-American studies, co-cultural theory, and
intercultural communication studies.
