Diversion Books. New. New Kenny Xu is the president of the nonprofit organization Color Us United, and the lead insider on the Harvard Students for Fair Admissions vs Harvard case and a commentary writer for The Federalist, The Washington Examiner, The Daily Signal, and Quillette Xu has spoken on the consequences of the Harvard case and its identity politics ideology in front of groups as diverse as the nationally renowned Pacific Legal Foundation to the Boston Rally for Education Rights to the all-Black Connecticut Parents Union His commentary has propelled him to interviews with NPR and features in the New York Times Magazine He lives in Washington, DC
From a journalist on the frontlines of the Students for Fair Admission (SFFA) v Harvard case comes a probing examination of affirmative action, the false narrative of American meritocracy, and the attack on Asian American excellence with its far-reaching implications-from seedy test-prep centers to gleaming gifted-and-talented magnet schools, to top colleges and elite business, media, and political positions across America
Even in the midst of a nationwide surge of bias and incidents against them, Asians from coast to coast have quietly assumed mastery of the nation's technical and intellectual machinery and become essential American workers Yet, they've been forced to do so in the face of policy proposals?written in the name of diversity?excluding them from the upper ranks of the elite
In An Inconvenient Minority, journalist Kenny Xu traces elite America's longstanding unease about a minority potentially upending them Leftist agendas, such as eliminating standardized testing, doling out racial advantages to "preferred" minorities, and lumping Asians into "privileged" categories despite their deprived historical experiences have spurred Asian Americans to act
Going beyond the Students for Fair Admission (SFFA) v Harvard case, Xu unearths the skewed logic rippling countrywide, from Mayor Bill de Blasio's attempted makeover of New York City's Specialized School programs to the battle over "diversity" quotas in Google's and Facebook's progressive epicenters, to the rise of Asian American activism in response to unfair perceptions and admission practices
Asian Americans' time is now, as they increase their direct action and amplify their voices in the face of mounting anti-Asian attacks An Inconvenient Minority chronicles the political and economic repression and renaissance of a long ignored racial identity group?and how they are central to reversing America's cultural decline and preserving the dynamism of the free world
