Asian American Author Destroys Critical Race Theory With Simple Explanation
Critical Race Theory continues to spread like wildfire across classrooms throughout the United States. However, it ignores the idea of meritocracy through hard work. One minority group defies the stereotypes forced upon the American public: Asian Americans.
Author Kenny Xu, President of Color Us United, exposed the flaws of Critical Race Theory during an interview on Fox News. He is the author of An Inconvenient Minority: The Attack on Asian American Excellence and the Fight for Meritocracy.
While Leftists continue their tirades about income inequality between races, they almost always focus on Blacks and Latinos. Asian Americans experience erasure because they currently are the highest income earners in the United States, which goes against the Left’s narrative.
“Critical Race Theory asserts that the world in America is divided into a racial caste system,” Xu told Fox News. “Whites on the top, Blacks on the bottom. But they have no idea what to do with Asian-Americans because Asian-Americans are a minority. You know, they have been discriminated against in this country and yet they succeed and they achieve. And that, I think, inconveniences the Critical Race Theory narrative today. And that’s why I wrote this book.”
Xu credited a strong family structure and an emphasis on a culture of meritocracy for the success of Asian Americans. He also slammed elite Ivy League schools for capping the amount of Asian Americans accepted at their schools, which is an example of actual system racism that the Left routinely ignores.
Suppose Black and Latino applicants were capped off. In that case, the Left would likely create outrage over the hypothetical situation.
“It’s a love for hard work and for meritocracy. And that’s at stake with Critical Race Theory, because Critical Race Theory is anti-meritocratic. It believes that merit is racist. So if policies like Harvard’s discrimination against Asian-Americans are allowed, guess who loses out? Well, it’s the hard-working Asian-Americans that work so hard to get their spot.”
Xu continued, “You know, I analyzed ninety thousand pages of Harvard admissions data, and stretching back for 30 years, Asian-Americans have been kept at a cap at admissions, between 15 and 18 percent of the student body. That has only recently changed. And, you know, Harvard’s own estimate said that if Asians were not discriminated against, they would be forty-three percent of the student body. Now, people are saying, well, is that too many Asians? Well, I say I’m indignant at that claim. I’m indignant with the claim that Asians are all the same kind of person, the same kind of faceless test-taking robot with no personality. We have to look past race in this country. And I wrote this book hopefully to heal America and to bring Americans together in service of meritocracy.”
