Leading Indian-Americans, including US Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, have slammed a law professor from the University of Pennsylvania for her disparaging comments about the Asian American community, with a specific disdain for Indian-Americans.
In a recent interview to Fox News, Prof Amy Wax from the University of Pennsylvania alleged that "Blacks" and "non-Western" groups have "a tremendous amount of resentment and shame against western people for [their] outsized achievements and contributions". "Here's the problem. They're taught that they are better than everybody else because they are Brahmin elites and yet, on some level, their country is a hellip; (derogatory term)," Wax, who has a long history of inflammatory remarks, said.
She also said the westerners have outgunned and outclassed the Asian-Americans in every way.
"They've realised that we've outgunned and outclassed them in every wayhellip; They feel anger. They feel envy. They feel shame. It creates ingratitude of the most monstrous kind," she said.
Wax then targeted the influential Indian-American doctors' community as well. "They are on the ramparts for the antiracism initiative for 'dump on America'," she alleged.
The comment was condemned by the Indian-Americans across the US. —
