Maybe there are too many mean-old white ladies also?

If you Duck Duck Go "Amy Wax Asians" You can find lots of other stories; Basically she said Asians are better off NOT supporting liberal policies AND the US is better off without Asians that support Democrats/leftists. As you can guess she was labeled as racist because students who pay 60K a year for college had their feelings hurt and can not repudiate her opinions any other way.

Students demand action after Penn professor's 'racist' comments about Asians

She dresses a whole lot better than Rosa, though.

Obviously she should’ve substituted “white” for whatever comment she made with races in it. Then she’d be celebrated as one of the greatest teachers at the school.

OK, try this on for size. These were her full comments with that excerpt for context. Uh, I'm Asian myself and I cannot say I disagree with her. I'm just as frustrated with Asian blind loyalty to Dimms and woke, even to our own effin' detriment.

Numbers matter, a lot! In the case of Asians in the U.S., the overwhelming majority vote Democratic. In my opinion, the Democratic Party is a pernicious influence and force in our country today. It advocates for “wokeness,” demands equal outcomes despite clear individual and group differences in talent, ability, and drive, mindlessly valorizes blacks (the group most responsible for anti-Asian violence) regardless of behavior or self-inflicted wounds, sneers at traditional family forms, undermines and disparages the advantages of personal responsibility, hard work, and accountability, and attacks the meritocracy.

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.

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. There needs to be more focus on people who are already here, and especially the core (and neglected) “legacy” population, and a push to return to traditional concepts and institutions and Charles Murray’s “American Creed.”

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.

Hammer, nail, head.

She is BOLD!

Wish we had companies that bold. Instead everyone rolls over for BLM and pledges allegiance to them. At the very least these cowards could ignore it.

She is the kind that if she owned a business, perhaps to buck the trend she’d blatantly display that she will not kowtow to BLM and Antifa or mask mandates.

As I already stated, she’s having the conversation those phony “fair” leftists say needs to be about race.

“Raising questions” and “making people uncomfortable” are good things when liberals do them.

The article doesn’t say what objectionable thing Prof. Wax said.

She said importing a new Asian elite won’t be good for Americans.
