I really think there is a love-hate, push-pull relationship between the high-brow, “intellectual” racists/fascists, like Wax and also Rod Dreher et. al., and the shock jock types who are more belligerent and aggressively open about it.
On one hand, the highbrows are deeply offended by the shock jocks because they try to convince themselves there are valid scientific and socio-economic reasons for their own positions which aren’t the same as mere vulgar bigotry. But on the other hand, I can see the highbrows thoroughly enjoying the freeing aspect of getting to say the quiet part out loud.
It took me a minute to figure out the long quote you started the article with was an actual quote and not deadly pointed satire. She's an ugly piece of work.
Her transformation at the end there was entirely believable.
She will be with us forever. Righties love it when a minority joins Team White Racist.
She could be the Asian Candace Owens . (How fucked up is that?)Diamond and Silk could get some real Silk.
Holy fucking shit! I clicked to that Glenn Loury piece and now I have to go wash my brain with Nazi-Be-Gone. Two assholes trying to outdo each other with racism. I don’t know George Lee from Adam, but I’ll bet his ancestors didn’t arrive here overland from Siberia during the last Ice Age. Anti-Asian racism might not be consistent with the Bill of Rights? Hey, George, the guys who wrote that were ok with enslaving Africans, and it didn’t stop 19th and 20th century anti-Asian laws. I also never heard of Professor She-Wolf of the SS, but anyone worried about their precious conservative child being exposed to collegiate Marxists can ship them off to Penn secure in the knowledge they’ll be in the hands of a dyed in the wool full racist fascist (“If they will become Democrats, let’s keep them out!”) This is the state of the intellectual wing of the Racistfascist Party. Jesus wept (btw, he was a Jew and probably should have been kept out along with those other Jewish socialists Lee regrets).
Amy Wax is a precious little thing, isn't she? Always money in the "Yellow Peril" stand, isn't there? Ignore the inconvenient fact that Chinese-Americans have either been here since the late-1800's (and therefore pre-Mao) or immigrated since the Revolution and are therefore generally anti-Communist at least at first. Laotians, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Koreans, even Desi of various flavors (I know, wow are we splitting hairs here! So many types of Asians, huh?) -- mostly brought in because their anti-socialist motivations. And deomographically remained mostly conservative, despite constant marginalization & hatred.
I just have to wonder tho, Prof. Wax -- if you are worried that "Asians" are anti-GOP, do you think it might have anything to do with the fact that anti-Asian hate crimes basically went up 300-some-odd-percent since COVID, from their already-high place when DJT was elected? There used to even be laws to repress Asian immigrant poopulations -- I mean, you're a law professor, so surely laws would be sonething you might know about.
The Perfesser's blatant racism is choice, what with stereotyping Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Malaysians, Filipinos et al as one totally homogenous group who are all...excuse me, mostly exactly the same, but what I really love is her notion that Asians should be excluded from this country, not because they are inferior to whites, but because....they tend to vote Democratic! I don't know what you call that - "meta-racist," maybe? - but clearly conservatives in academia are innovating in the way they show contempt for out-groups.
When most of your energy now goes into elaborate theories for what's wrong with the people who ain't buyin' your product, that can't be good for your long-term business prospects.
Wow! Didn't expect iy at the start, but the Maestro pulled it off.
Bravo!

Alarmingly plausible, Roy!
I meant, anyone who approvingly quotes Enoch Powell can be safely dismissed as an outright Nazi.
"-vintage films-" heh

Great gig. Much better than tenure.

"grip-and-grin portraits"
Scene-setting GOLD!
"Discipline and Punish" is a great title for a show. Made me think Fox should counter "The View" with a show called "Panopticon".
I know white supremacists like to split it fine, but oh my, "the Anglo-Scot idea of achievement"

"a Hitler speech plays quietly underneath"
With these folks, doesn't a Hitler speech ALWAYS play quietly underneath?

Dear Amy,
Asia is a very, very big continent. If you're going to be a hateful bigot against Asians, please include us next time, ok?
Sincerely,
The 2 billion people of India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh
(P.S. We aren't Republicans either, but then, who'd want to be?)
