Penn Law prof says Black and Asian people resent Western achievement

University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax — known for her history of racist remarks — said Black and Asian people are resentful toward “Western peoples’ outsized achievements” on a recent segment of Tucker Carlson’s Fox Nation show.

Referring to Indian Americans, Wax said April 8 on “Tucker Carlson Today”: “They climb the ladder, they get the best education, we give them every opportunity, and they turn around and lead the charge on ‘we’re racist, we’re an awful country.’ On some level, their country is a s--thole.”

Wax, who attended Columbia Law School and has taught at Penn since 2001, previously drew national attention when she said the U.S. would be “better off with fewer Asians.”

The executive director of the South Asian civic organization Indian American Impact, Neil Makhija, a lecturer at Penn Law, said Wax’s overtly racist talking points have led him to doubt his colleague’s capacity to teach students of all races.

A form of Wachs, Wachstein, other German roots.

I’ve known several in my practice and in my religious school when I was young. Different families I might add…

Well, that is certainly unfortunate.

Here's the thing about those minorities "we" caucasians "gave" education to, who now dare to point out the structural racism in our culture: they're right.

and when they "try" like Wax, or people like Charles Murray or pseudo intellectual hacks like Stefan Molyneux, they have to fudge the numbers, misinterpret them, or straight up lie.

Facts do not actually fit a Conservative world view.

More journalists need to ask follow-up questions about evidence, instead of giving a pass to those making wild accusations.

How dare those people be ungrateful for what she has given them?
She screams her prejudice with every word, and is completely unaware of what she's doing.

who live in foreign countries if it was there might have been some truth to it, but it's talking about Americans and it's Tucker Carlson what a prick.
