Thread. Even if you're already convinced that University of Pennsylvania's Amy Wax is a racist, @IChotiner's interview with her is well worth reading.

I find it more correct to say that the vast majority of Americans are repelled by what they THINK Wax' views are. The title for the New Yorker piece alone was a gross distortion.
Vast majority? Sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_consensus_effect …. Journos in blue elite bubbles thinking everybody agrees with them.

Yes, vast majority. https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2019/05/08/americans-see-advantages-and-challenges-in-countrys-growing-racial-and-ethnic-diversity/ … After the Trump interregnum is over, you, Wax, & the other racists can ooze your way back to the dustbin of history.pic.twitter.com/Mx3jZeS26g

Actually, I intended to say that the vast majority of those who think they are repelled are only repelled by what they THINK Wax' views are. Alas, got a notification and was sidetracked though the gist was the same.

To me --and I've been reading her stuff for well over a decade, she's simply saying that mass immigration from developing countries poses hurdles we are apparently not prepared to handle well. All the SHOULDS in the world cannot undo the IS.

Sure, that's just fine. Reasonable people can argue about the amount of immigration from developing countries. But she crossed a line or let her true colors show at the NatCon conference, as
@CathyYoung63 made clear.
