Tucker Carlson is a racist.

Either that or he has an amazingly uncanny way of attracting racist writers and guests to his show who are inevitably exposed as such and are therefore terminated or tolerated. Who else but Tucker takes a completely unannounced “vacation” after his top writer is exposed as a major player in an anonymous and blatantly racist website, only to have Tucker come back and not apologize for hiring such an obvious racist and put more blame on cancel culture than his writer.

Yes, Tucker, modern society does believe it is important to impose consequences on abhorrent views and cancel their platforms. Is there any part of that statement you disagree with? People should have the question answered because Tucker should apologize for booking a tenured Penn professor (On his podcast show) whose only notoriety is that she’s under a six-month investigation as to whether Amy Wax should be allowed to stay on as a faculty member given her unapologetic racist views.

After all, Tucker could have asked an economics professor from Penn’s Wharton school to explain why inflation is so prevalent. But he didn’t. He had Wax. According to The Daily Pennsylvanian: Wax said:

“I think there is just a tremendous amount of resentment and shame of non-Western peoples against Western peoples for Western peoples’ outsized achievements and contributions. I mean, it’s really unbearable,” Wax said in the interview. “I was actually, leaving aside American Blacks, who I think do feel that resentment and shame and envy, I mean it’s this unholy brew of sentiments.”

First of all, we’d all still be using numbers like MCVIII were it not for the “achievement” pulled off by ARABS inventing the concept of “Zero” and giving us Arabic numerals which allowed Newton to invent science, but whatever, there are a million other examples.

There is some truth to her statement. We agree that Black Americans feel resentment and envy that white people can be pulled over by cops and not end up shot. As for “outsized achievement,” we’d like her to define achievement and also take note that it’s easier to achieve something when society isn’t doing its best to suppress your race.

She wasn’t done. She isn’t happy about immigration from India:

In an April 8 interview with Fox News television personality Tucker Carlson on his show “Tucker Carlson Today,” Wax also criticized Indian immigrants to the United States for judging and expressing disapproval of the U.S. She claimed that she believes “at some level, their country is a shithole.”

With the caveat “at some level,” she is probably right. After all, at some level, the United States is a shithole. Her office would be one example. Marjorie Taylor-Greene would be yet another. India was under British colonial rule forever. There is a pattern here, “Western society suppressing or subjugating another country, suppressing achievement.” India now rivals China (As in almost exactly the same number) for the most populated country on earth. There are going to be people who want to immigrate.

Penn Law Dean Ted Ruger and Penn Law spokesperson Meredith Rovine wrote to The Daily Pennsylvanian on April 11 that they will withhold public comment on the controversy until the faculty review process of Wax has concluded, in adherence to University policy.

In other words, rather than firing her five minutes after her abhorrent comments, Penn plans on ensuring that she is not just “canceled” but terminated for breaking her own contract that she signed regarding her behavior and Pennsylvania University policy. Penn is a private university that can fire her for cause if she breaks that contract. In other words, she may well have canceled herself. Culture had nothing to do with it.

Meanwhile, Carlson sat there, not pushing back at all. He must have been in his comfort zone, and Fox clearly doesn’t think that doing so brings shame upon the network. Indeed, it might well be why Tucker has a job in the first place. Fox wouldn’t “cancel” something they specifically invited for the reason at issue.

“Brahmin women from #India come to this country (#US), they climb the ladder, we give them every opportunity… their country (India) is a shithole,” Penn Law Professor Amy Wax on Indian immigrants in #America
