Praise for An Inconvenient Minority
"Asian American success shows that hard work, self-discipline, and
strong families still pay large dividends in the U.S. Yet Asians
now find themselves subject to quotas that limit their access to
jobs and admission to selective schools, in part because high
levels of Asian achievement undercut the progressive narrative that
white supremacy holds back America's minorities. Now, however, as
Kenny Xu compellingly documents in An Inconvenient Minority, a
revolt is fomenting against these artificial barriers. If Asian
Americans lead the U.S. toward a true color-blind meritocracy, An
Inconvenient Minority will be remembered as a turning point in that
battle."
—Heather Mac Donald, Manhattan Institute Fellow and New York Times
bestselling author of The Diversity Delusion
“Among the many inane inventions of race-hustling radicals, the
assignment of ‘white privilege’ to Asians ranks among the most
absurd. As Kenny Xu explains with politically incorrect clarity,
Asians constitute an ‘inconvenient minority’ for leftist social
engineers who exploit white guilt to foist a racial caste system
upon America. This poisonous ideology reigns in corporate
boardrooms and, notably, the halls of the Ivy League. We cannot fix
the problem without first understanding it, and Xu offers an
indispensable tool to begin that process.”
—Michael Knowles, host of the Daily Wire's "The Michael Knowles
Show" and author of Speechless
"Something is profoundly wrong in our equity-obsessed America. Just
as we seem to be enveloped in darkness about our future, a light
can be seen on the horizon: Kenny Xu, beckoning us to follow our
historically well-trodden path of merit. He provides a compelling
documentary of merit from the driver’s seat, helmed by members of
our American family who have demonstrated the efficacy of this
principle: Americans of Asian descent. An excellent read!"
—Ward Connerly, founder and President of the American Civil Rights
Institute and former chairman of the California Civil Rights
Initiative campaign
"Journalist Xu, who writes for the Federalist, Washington Examiner,
and other publications, offers a strident critique . . . Writing as
a warning 'about what happens when elite discrimination is
legitimized and abetted by the world’s most powerful institutions,'
Xu contributes to the ongoing debate about inequality, injustice,
and racism that informs recent books such as Daniel Markovits’ The
Meritocracy Trap and Michael Sandel’s The Tyranny of Merit."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Contending that the social advancement of 'the Asian American
community' in spite of historic discrimination 'directly
challenge[s] the Leftist narrative of minority victimhood,' Xu
claims that Asian Americans have been left out of conversations
about 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' because they suffer from
persistent stereotypes and lack the kind of 'cultural capital'
necessary to make their struggles visible to the mainstream. . . .
Xu raises intriguing questions about the place of Asian Americans
in U.S. society."
—Publishers Weekly
"Groundbreaking. . . .It couldn't arrive at a more critical time in
our history, and it is the answer to Critical Race Theory. . .
.While Kenny Xu addresses the issue through the lens of the
Asian-American experience, he importantly points out
that…‘Meritocracy is not a party issue or a race issue. It is an
American issue.’ He's right, and if we don't address this,
America's culture of excellence will die, and America shortly
thereafter."
—American Thinker
“Kenny Xu exposes the truths coastal elites know, but
self-servingly ignore. An Inconvenient Minority is a paean to Asian
Americans and all they offer to our country and world. Moreover,
his book is a reminder that the American dream is as real as it is
in need of defense….Xu’s book highlights the perspectives of Asian
Americans, but his argument is for all of us. It’s for all
Americans who wish to live in a world where a hardworking nobody,
with a lot of time, talent, and dedication, can become somebody.
That’s a country worth fighting to maintain.”
—The Federalist
