My daughter wants to stop being a "model minority" because she's tired of being associated with minorities

I am not sure whether to title it this, I'm not good with titles.<br><br>So, I'm white, my husband is Asian, as my daughter is Asian. She's 17. Her grade school years were ethnically diverse. She went to high school that was predominantly white. There's a lot of wealthy people in the subburb. So it's not a surprise to see parents driving around in Range Rovers and have their kids drive around in Mercedes Benz (our family is well-off but we drive a Honda Pilot and Kia Sorento). <br><br>During an argument tonight, my daughter told my husband and I that she's tired of being a "model minority". She hates that term and she's sick of going to school with other minorities that aren't Asian. She's tired of being associated with "minorities as a whole" and she's tired of showing minorities "can be good as well". She wants to be her own person and associate with her own people and not be associated with this "minority bullshit". She's tired of the burden of showing that minorities can be "as good as white people" and she's tired of the thought that she has to "represent a race" that isn't white. She said she doesn't mind being Asian but she wants to be her own person and stop being associated with this wider minority group that she shouldn't be apart of. She also said she wants to go to a university that is predominantly white. My husband and I are honestly considering this as we both have a university in mind that is predominantly white. There's a lot of wealthy people in the area as well which is a plus.<br><br>Just to clarify things, I asked my daughter what she meant by "her own people" and she said she meant people with a similar background as her. I asked her to elaborate and she said she meant people who aren't "self entitled" and are hardworking and ambitious. I have no clue whether that has to do with race or not. I hope not. When she said she wants to be her own person, I think she means she doesn't want a burden of showing that minorities are just as good as white people (Sorry for the grammatical mistake). I hope that makes sense. <br><br>What should I do?
