An Inconvenient Minority

More about the book

Amid a nationwide surge of bias against them, Asians have become vital contributors to America's technical and intellectual landscape, yet they face exclusion from elite ranks under diversity policies. This work delves into the implications of the Students for Fair Admission (SFFA) v. Harvard case, exposing the flawed reasoning behind initiatives from Mayor Bill de Blasio's overhaul of New York City's Specialized School programs to the debates over diversity quotas at tech giants like Google and Facebook. It highlights the emergence of Asian American activism in response to discriminatory perceptions and admission practices. The narrative reveals elite America's discomfort with a minority that could disrupt the status quo, fueled by leftist agendas that seek to eliminate standardized testing and assign racial advantages to select groups while categorizing Asians as "privileged" despite their historical struggles. As anti-Asian sentiment rises, Asian Americans are increasingly mobilizing to assert their rights and amplify their voices. This exploration chronicles the political and economic challenges faced by this often-overlooked racial identity group and underscores their potential role in reversing cultural decline and sustaining the vibrancy of the free world.
