"While some may not realize it, both Bob and Amy have similar messages."
I don't realize it. Bob Woodson is one of the greatest respected elders and leaders on the planet. One of my long time heroes.
Amy Wax is an america pessimist, which is just as bad as an afro pessimist. Amy Wax has deep inferiority complex and doesn't believe that Americans can cut it on the global stage; which is why she has abondoned the meritocracy, she previously supported. Her ideas would accelerate the rapid decline of the US share of global GNP and wealth.
Amy Wax and narrow minded and broken. I don't want the USA to become narrow minded and broken.
Both Woodson and Wax advocate for emphasizing traditional American middle class values. They both speak out strongly about affirmative action. Neither of them are concerned with PC and neither of them suffer fools gladly.
---non asians won't be socio-economically successful in the future (I take Amy to imply an asian ruling class in the USA and globally)
---the assumption that we don't benefit from the rise and success of others.
I think non asians greatly benefit from the re-emergence of Asia. Much the way the rest of the world greatly benefits from US success and excellence. And much the way the world benefited from the Irish and Chilean economic miracles. And much the way the whole would would benefit from a socio-economic miracle in the lion economies of Africa and the global african diaspora.
Total factor productivity is symbiotic and additive and benefits from globalized integration and joint cross border research and development.
Many in the USA, Canada, Portugal, Spain, most of Latin America, England (maybe Italy? not sure) have a crisis in self confidence. This crisis in self confidence needs to be fought tooth and nail. Without self confidence it is hard to achieve anything.
Amy Wax is extremely pessimistic and suffers from deep inferiority complex.
I disagree about AnAn response to Amy Wax. I propose that critics respond directly to specific Amy Wax sentence with logical and informed counter-statement or opinion that sentence is untrue.
Why do you think Amy Wax believes that non ethnic asians cannot compete with ethnic asians in a meritocratic system? Hence "affirmative action for Americans." Why does Amy Wax lack faith and confidence in non ethnic asians?

If this isn't defeatism, then what is?
My main objections to Amy Wax are two:
---non asians won't be socio-economically successful in the future (I take Amy to imply an asian ruling class in the USA and globally)
---the assumption that we don't benefit from the rise and success of others.

We are going to have to agree to disagree.
Which part or parts do you disagree with?
Why do you think Amy has so little faith in people who do not have Asian ancestry?
AnAn, I do not find this type of dialog productive. I can't speak for Amy Wax. I can only speak for myself.
