This study investigates the conditional effects of the model minority label in light of the 717% increase in anti-Asian hate crimes that occurred during the pandemic in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The study focuses on six Canadian participants of Chinese descent and aims to examine the socio-cultural psychological impacts of the model minority stereotype, while also exploring any experiences of aggression stemming from the participants' bicultural upbringing and the additional effects of the pandemic on domestically-born Chinese Canadians. Thematic analysis was utilised to analyse the qualitative data gathered through interviews. The findings reveal the presence of heightened but subtle and nuanced microaggressions experienced during the pandemic, both externally and internally. This study emphasises the need for media outlets and policymakers to gain a deeper understanding of the detrimental consequences associated with framing conveyed in media representations. Due to the sensitive nature of this study, extensive ethical considerations have been undertaken, and it has received approval from Dalarna University's Research Ethics Committee (FEN).
