I really appreciate your detailed reply.

About 30% of the New Zealand population is fairly recent immigrants, also usually with quite strict visa selection criteria, so there is a somewhat similar dynamic here.

Fifty per cent of the New Zealand prison population is Maori, even though they make up 15 per cent of the population, so there are parallels there too - their history is horrifying in other ways (especially because they were here first).

I hadn’t heard of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_minority before - interesting, cheers.
