Penn law professor Amy Wax enraged people with her comments about Asians. Now, she may face sanction.

University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax over the last five years has repeatedly enraged students with her racist comments, first calling into question the academic ability of Black students and most recently saying the country would be better off with fewer Asians and less Asian immigration.

While Penn has condemned her speech and in 2018 removed her from teaching mandatory courses, she has kept her job and the prestige of working for an Ivy League university.

But that may be about to change.

What's a liberal to do? Elite Ivy league schools actively practice discrimination against Asians BUT when a professor says Asians should not support Democrats holy hell breaks out.

“... she didn’t think she’d ever seen a Black student graduate in the top quarter of the class at Penn Law “

There’s a good reason for that. If a black law student were smart enough to be in the top quarter at Penn, they wouldn’t be at Penn. They’d be at Harvard or Yale.

‘Amy Wax’ sounds like a porn actress name.

Doctor/Doctor/Doctor Amy goes where most professors dare to tread.

She forces people to think about the B$ posing as education now in America.

What did she say about Asians?

I can’t reach the article because I have an ad blocker, and I’m certainly not going to turn it off for a sewer like the philly inquirer.

Maybe it’s just that Democrats love open borders, and Asians want more Asians here. Perhaps they (and especially their distaff element) are just mesmerized by the feel-good cult of “diversity.” I don’t know the answer. But as long as most Asians support Democrats and help to advance their positions, I think the United States is better off with fewer Asians and less Asian immigration.

She is awesome, and it isn't anti-asian or racist.

also:

I confess I find Asian support for these policies mystifying, as I fail to see how they are in Asians’ interest. We can speculate (and, yes, generalize) about Asians’ desire to please the elite, single-minded focus on self-advancement, conformity and obsequiousness, lack of deep post-Enlightenment conviction, timidity toward centralized authority (however unreasoned), indifference to liberty, lack of thoughtful and audacious individualism, and excessive tolerance for bossy, mindless social engineering, etc.

she said immigration policies should be geared toward “cultural compatibility” and called “the influx of Asian elites ... problematic.” She later wrote on Loury’s site that “as long as most Asians support Democrats and help to advance their positions, I think the United States is better off with fewer Asians and less Asian immigration.”
