What is the real problem with the model minority myth, according to Oluo?

When Oluo discusses the model minority myth, she underscores the way in which the myth renders entire communities invisible. She uses the example of her own unconscious adoption of the myth and how it blinded her to the fact that her Asian friends in childhood had parents who came from countries such as Guam, Vietnam, and India. Many of these families had fled from war or other forms of oppression, but her ideas about Asians kept her from recognizing any of these truths until years later.
