An Inconvenient Minority

Amid a nationwide surge in bias against them, Asians across the U.S. have become vital contributors to the nation's technical and intellectual landscape. However, they face exclusion from elite positions under diversity policies that overlook their unique challenges. Journalist Kenny Xu explores elite America's discomfort with a minority that could disrupt the status quo. He highlights leftist initiatives aimed at dismantling standardized testing, granting racial advantages to select groups, and categorizing Asians as "privileged," despite their historical struggles. Xu goes beyond the Students for Fair Admission (SFFA) v. Harvard case to reveal the pervasive bias affecting Asian Americans, from Mayor Bill de Blasio's attempts to reform New York City's Specialized School programs to the controversies surrounding "diversity" quotas at major tech companies like Google and Facebook. In response to these injustices and rising anti-Asian sentiment, Asian Americans are mobilizing, amplifying their voices, and demanding fair treatment. This narrative sheds light on the political and economic challenges faced by this often-overlooked group and emphasizes their crucial role in reversing America's cultural decline and sustaining the vibrancy of the free world.
