The Asian admissions myths (i.e., Asian quotas, Asian penalty, and anti-Asian bias) have been described by scholars as pervasive and potent. However, less is known about how Chinese Americans have learnt about, interpreted, and coped with these myths. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and ethnographic observation, Chap. 3 shows that media, social media, and Asian American community members (i.e., teachers, college admissions counselors, students, and parents) all have perpetuated these myths. Notably, two-thirds of Chinese respondents perceived these myths as a widely shared reality, despite scholars’ and progressive advocacy groups’ efforts to debunk them. Their belief in the myths can be attributed to college admissions anxiety, repeated exposure to anxiety-inducing information, the internalization of the Model Minority stereotypes, confirmation bias, and the opaque admissions process. The rhetoric power of the myths cannot be underestimated, as Chinese respondents who bought into the myths had not only grappled with increased college application stress but also adopted various coping strategies, such as changing their last name, applying to more schools, and/or advocating against affirmative action.
