Chinese-Americans of the present day are at all different stages of adaptation.  Each Chinese-American has found different ways to reconcile the two cultures of the United States and traditional China concerning identity and family.  Chinese-Americans have adapted certain traditional Anglo-Saxon values into their lifestyles and also have found ways to balance out both traditional Anglo-Saxon values and traditional Chinese values for certain things.  While Chinese-Americans are adapting to the United States, one way the United States has unfortunately adapted to the Chinese-American minority is with the minority model myth, which, while giving a good name to Chinese-Americans, acts as a double-edged sword that actually also harms Chinese-Americans.
