‘We give them every opportunity’: Penn law professor says ‘Blacks’ and immigrants resent ‘outsized achievements’ of Westerners

A University of Pennsylvania Law School professor's comments to Tucker Carlson have ignited a firestorm of criticism.

Amy Wax told Carlson that "American Blacks" and non-Westerners feel "resentment, shame, and envy" toward Westerners for their "outsized achievements and contributions." Wax also referred to India as a "shithole" and said non-Western immigrants shouldn't criticize America because their countries are inferior.

Nikki McCann Ramírez, senior research director at Media Matters for America, posted two clips of the exchange on Twitter. In fewer than 24 hours, the clips are approaching a cumulative 2 million views.

The first begins with Carlson asking Wax about vandalism, which he described as "people coming in and wrecking everything that was valuable in an institution that they never built themselves."

Wax described it as "reckless," "angry," and driven by "a tremendous amount of resentment and shame of non-Western peoples against Western peoples for Western people's outsized achievements and contributions."

"I mean, it's really unbearable," she added.
