In recent interviews, Wax has said that the U.S. would be “better off with fewer Asians,” and that “Blacks” and Asians are resentful of Western success.
The National Black Law Students Association, the National Asian Pacific American Law Student Association, and the North American South Asian Law Students Association jointly released a letter on Wednesday, shared first with NBC Asian America, condemning Wax’s comments. Inthat the U.S. would be “better off with fewer Asians,” and that “Blacks” and Asians are resentful of Western success.
The investigation should be completely transparent to students, the letter says, and Wax should be suspended from campus grounds during the process. According to the law school's website, she's“It’s a bit scary thinking about the impact that she’s had teaching at Penn for so long,” Dillon Yang, president of the National Asian Pacific American Law Student Association and a second-year law student at Notre Dame University, told NBC Asian America.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson last week, Wax called India a “s---hole” and said South Asian American women should be more grateful to be in the U.S. She also doubled down on her previous anti-Asian rhetoric. Though Wax has now been removed from teaching a mandatory first-year course, damage to years of previous students may have already been done, they said.
