[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] See Australia- Tenured law professor Amy Wax has come under fire for making racist comments during an online interview with a fellow academic
- 'The US is better off with fewer Asians and less Asian immigration,' Wax said in a December interview with Brown University's Glenn Loury, an African-American
- 'It’s just harder to assimilate those people or to have confidence that our way of life will continue if we bring a lot of people in who are not familiar,' she went on
- These are not original ideas on the [political] right,' the educator asserted
- The off-color comment came during a conversation between the two academics concerning US immigration
- Wax has faced backlash for similar comments in the past, saying the US is better off with 'fewer nonwhites' in 2019 and disparaging black students in 2018
- Penn Law School Dean Theodore Ruger called Wax's comments 'anti-intellectual' and 'racist' but as of Tuesday, she is currently still employed by the school
