Raman Mitra | Amy Wax’s hypocritical attack on Indian Americans: fear, jealousy, or racism?
(05/20/22 7:51pm)
As one of the earliest Indian American M.D.-Ph.D. graduates from the Perelman School of Medicine, I intently watched Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with professor Amy Wax, the Robert Mundheim Professor of Law at Penn Law School. Her verbal vitriol singled out Asian Indian physicians. The first amendment and university tenure, however, protect this Ivy League elite who is an anathema to the Quaker mores upon which Penn was founded. She is not alone as a tenured university professor to have shamed faculty, students, and administrators, having joined the ignominious ranks of those like Rutgers University's Brittney Cooper for racist anti-white rants or Eric Rasmusen of Indiana University for sexist posts.
