I wanted to add that the Model Minority myth was a decades long snowball effect, before Immigration opened up in the 70s. "The Blacks" were getting too uppity in the 1940s and the Civil Rights movement was gaining traction, so the powers that be wanted to elevate Asians in order to serve as a foil for Blacks, perpetuating the narrative of Blacks being responsible for their own failures (i.e. "if the Asians can make it, why can't you Blacks? All y'all do is complain and never improve").
So negative stories of Asians were suppressed in the news and replaced with more positive stories. This would go on for more than two decades and by the time immigration opened up with the influx of successful, rich, and educated Asians from overseas, the model minority thing became a self-fulfilling prophecy:

Its a little ridiculous when you think about it but White people literally had to be manipulated by in order to be more "accepting" of Asian people.
Yeah, it's a little frightening. Like there's probably plenty of mass graves throughout the country, filled with non-Whites that no one will ever know about. To add, on top of all these racial massacres that have been swept under the rug look at the complete erasure of sexual violence. If mobs are out there mutilating, shooting, pummeling, and lynching people to death they were certainly raping the women too.
