The University of Pennsylvania came under fire this week after a law professor made inflammatory comments about Asians and the Asian-American community during an interview.

on"The Glenn Show," said:"Maybe it's just that Democrats love open borders, and Asians want more Asians here. Perhaps they 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."Law Professor Amy Wax in a photo provided by the University of Pennsylvania.

Those comments sparked outrage on campus, with the dean of the law school calling them"anti-intellectual and racist." "Like all racist generalizations, Wax's recent comments inflict harm by perpetuating stereotypes and placing differential burdens on Asian students, faculty and staff to carry the weight of this vitriol and bias," DeanPenn students created a petition demanding the school take action against Wax, a tenured professor.

"I think that the university needs to suspend her from all teaching duties," said Apratim Vidyarthi, a third-year law student."She shouldn't be allowed to come on campus, she shouldn't be allowed to interact with students while this investigation is ongoing."The University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia, May 28, 2019."We know she said similar things in the past," Vidvarthi continued.

"As much as Amy Wax has said these things," Jegon added,"we also know right now that it is a pattern, as we said in the petition."

Aaww,the truth hurts?

The Professor's comments are unacceptable. However many Asian students and others in the US, particularly Indians support and encourage similar and even worse things in their home countries.

Why has she not been fired yet? This can't be an accepted view in any prestigious university.

In the name of diversity, she must conform. Lol.

I cannot see how she still remains a Prof there. Imagine if there Asians in her class, how are they suppose to react now?

I heard AmyWax argue America will lose the “founding father’s culture” if the 3rd world continues 2 immigrate 2 America, as they don’t assimilate & hold 2 many MDs & PhDs, thereby tainting said “culture,” which is colonial white supremacy. She’s Jewish & should know better.

Who cares what they say im living the American dream they can't do nothing about that

No one does it better than him I did definitely choose him over any other trader! During those turbulent days I invested $900 and to my biggest shock I got return of $7,000 in 8 trading days. His diligence and sincerity can’t be overlooked tyron_robert7

Asians need to fight for their rights just like black people.
