In this article, I examine the model minority—a specific, understudied racialized other. To make sense of the position of the model minority in the contemporary workplace, I analyze the Netflix original series, The Chair. Juxtaposing The Chair against germane discourses related to the model minority, I consider some of the salient, though not fully understood, challenges to inclusion at work. I develop theoretical insights on how the model minority encounters specific forms of institutional racism that encumber their inclusion in organizations. Namely, I contend that the construction of an organizational member of color as the model minority effectively positions them in: (1) double consciousness, and, (2) the leadership conundrum. Double consciousness refers to the phenomenon wherein the model minority is subjected to latent or overt forms of institutional racism while, at the same time, pressured to remain within the restrictive parameters of the model minority stereotype. The leadership conundrum refers to how the model minority is cast with expectations to behave in ways not expected of their white colleagues who occupy the same role, which ultimately sets the model minority leader for failure. This article contributes to ongoing debates in critical diversity studies on the limits of workplace inclusion.

模范少数族裔和工作场所包容的局限性

在这篇文章中,我考察了模范少数族裔——一个特定的、未被充分研究的种族化的其他人。为了理解模范少数群体在当代工作场所的地位,我分析了 Netflix 原创剧集《椅子》。将主席与与模范少数群体相关的密切讨论放在一起,我认为工作中的包容性面临的一些突出挑战,尽管尚未完全理解。我对模范少数群体如何遇到阻碍他们融入组织的特定形式的制度性种族主义提出了理论见解。也就是说,我认为将有色人种组织成员构建为模范少数族裔有效地将他们置于:(1)双重意识,以及,(2)领导难题。双重意识是指模范少数群体受到潜在或公开形式的制度性种族主义的影响,同时又被迫保持在模范少数群体刻板印象的限制范围内的现象。领导力难题是指模范少数族裔如何被期望以与担任相同角色的白人同事不同的方式行事,这最终使模范少数族裔领袖走向失败。本文有助于就工作场所包容性的限制进行批判性多样性研究中正在进行的辩论。领导力难题是指模范少数族裔如何被期望以与担任相同角色的白人同事不同的方式行事,这最终使模范少数族裔领袖走向失败。本文有助于就工作场所包容性的限制进行批判性多样性研究中正在进行的辩论。领导力难题是指模范少数族裔如何被期望以与担任相同角色的白人同事不同的方式行事,这最终使模范少数族裔领袖走向失败。本文有助于就工作场所包容性的限制进行批判性多样性研究中正在进行的辩论。
