A University of Pennsylvania Law School professor's comments to Tucker Carlson have ignited a firestorm of criticism.
Amy Wax told Carlson that "American Blacks" and non-Westerners feel "resentment, shame, and envy" toward Westerners for their "outsized achievements and contributions." Wax also referred to India as a "shithole" and said non-Western immigrants shouldn't criticize America because their countries are inferior.
Nikki McCann Ramírez, senior research director at Media Matters for America, posted two clips of the exchange on Twitter. In fewer than 24 hours, the clips are approaching a cumulative 2 million views.
The first begins with Carlson asking Wax about vandalism, which he described as "people coming in and wrecking everything that was valuable in an institution that they never built themselves."
Wax described it as "reckless," "angry," and driven by "a tremendous amount of resentment and shame of non-Western peoples against Western peoples for Western people's outsized achievements and contributions."

Yes!
This “woman” looks like a tranny.
I watched the interview on Fox Nation & she looked nice. The picture in the article did not look like her. Great interview.
The problem with generalization is the professor was on national television making these remarks.
To me it sounded like a French couple who was on a game show and when asked why they came over here just to be on a show they said they would win of course, because Americans are stupid. Now, that was very stupid to say on national television.
“Wax also referred to India as a “shithole”
There are PLENTY of videos on India. Other than a few Mini-Split Air Conditioners in some of the major cities, it’s hard to see anything useful there.
I’m talking Asians from the far east. Not Muslims.
I got a chuckle out of it.🤪
If Trump said it, could I bet you’d approve of it?
I get what you mean. I just hope I don’t smell hypocrisy. Maybe not you, but many on FR.
As it is, I like what she said although it was probably imprudent. She is probably just like me and extremely frustrated with what has transpired especially in the last 2 years, with so much hatred heaped on America and the whites who created it (not the “backs of slaves”, sorry, doesn’t cut it either). Feeling libeled and slandered endlessly.
I think he knew you meant actual Asian types.
But, I think you mistook Amy Wax’s comments. She was going off on anyone not white.
Which actually has a good deal of merit. Asian proper are quite antithetical to our values of kindness and equality, and independence. Most cultures have a strong current of subservience.
Why is it everyone here assumes this prof is a guy?
How many guys are named “Amy”?
“Asians aren’t western and are not compatible with western values“
Vietnamese who came in the 70’s have done pretty darn well
That was certainly ill-advised for a professor, even if what he said was generally true.
