Overview

From a journalist on the frontlines of the Students for Fair Admission (SFFA) v. Harvard case comes a probing examination of affirmative action, the false narrative of American meritocracy, and the attack on Asian American excellence with its far-reaching implicationsā€”from seedy test-prep centers to gleaming gifted-and-talented magnet schools, to top colleges and elite business, media, and political positions across America

Even in the midst of a nationwide surge of bias and incidents against them, Asians from coast to coast have quietly assumed mastery of the nationā€™s technical and intellectual machinery and become essential American workers. Yet, theyā€™ve been forced to do so in the face of policy proposalsā€•written in the name of diversityā€•excluding them from the upper ranks of the elite.

In An Inconvenient Minority, journalist Kenny Xu traces elite Americaā€™s longstanding unease about a minority potentially upending them. Leftist agendas, such as eliminating standardized testing, doling out racial advantages to ā€œpreferredā€ minorities, and lumping Asians into ā€œprivilegedā€ categories despite their deprived historical experiences have spurred Asian Americans to act.

Going beyond the Students for Fair Admission (SFFA) v. Harvard case, Xu unearths the skewed logic rippling countrywide, from Mayor Bill de Blasioā€™s attempted makeover of New York Cityā€™s Specialized School programs to the battle over ā€œdiversityā€ quotas in Googleā€™s and Facebookā€™s progressive epicenters, to the rise of Asian American activism in response to unfair perceptions and admission practices.

Asian Americansā€™ time is now, as they increase their direct action and amplify their voices in the face of mounting anti-Asian attacks. An Inconvenient Minority chronicles the political and economic repression and renaissance of a long ignored racial identity groupā€•and how they are central to reversing Americaā€™s cultural decline and preserving the dynamism of the free world.
