Amherst Prof’s Book Claims Asian American Success is Tied to ‘White Supremacy’
“Asian American experience must be understood within a system of white supremacy and racial capitalism”
The left’s constant pivot to this topic is so tiresome.

Amherst professor’s forthcoming book argues Asian American success is tied to ‘white supremacy’
An Amherst College professor’s forthcoming book will argue that the same conditions that allow Asian Americans to prosper also lead to “xenophobic attacks” against them.
The book, titled “Success Won’t Save Us: How Asian Americans Can Fight White Supremacy,” is set for publication by Duke University Press in Feb. 2027.
The book “considers the dual reality that Asian Americans must contend with in the United States: they are both celebrated for their achievements and subjected to racialized violence,” according to its description.
It further contends that Asian Americans “face obstacles as minorities but also have held prominent positions within a federal administration accused of spreading white nationalism.”
While Asian Americans often do well in American society, the book’s author argues that the “Asian American experience must be understood within a system of white supremacy and racial capitalism.”
”The conditions that produce xenophobic attacks against Asian Americans also facilitate their upward mobility and social prestige,” the description explains.
Pawan Dhingra, the book’s author, is a professor of U.S. Immigration Studies, the chair of the Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies department, and the Vice President for Equity and Inclusion at Amherst College in Massachusetts. His research interests include “Asian America,” “race/gender/class intersectionality,” “white supremacy,” “sociology of immigration,” “education,” “work,” and “culture.”
Dhingra is also the author of “Managing Multicultural Lives: Asian American Professionals and the Challenge of Multiple Identities,” which was published in 2007 by Stanford University Press.

Racial capitalism? I hadn’t heard that one before. The stupid never stops, apparently.
“Pawan Dhingra, the book’s author, is a professor of U.S. Immigration Studies, the chair of the Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies department, and the Vice President for Equity and Inclusion at Amherst College in Massachusetts.”
This is like being the SA’s Director of Jewish Professional Development.
I wonder if Asian Americans at Amherst feel well represented?
Asian americans 15% of population in CA, but 40% of students at UC Berkeley.
Blame white supremists? BS indicators are peaking into the red.
Asians, like Hispanics, are “white” when the commies need them to be.
I am reminded of the wit who signed my brother’s high school yearbook as “Director of Management Uselessness.”
Coincidentally the wit could have played the race card had be been so inclined, as his grandfather left the Res in Oklahoma to assimilate and become a DC lawyer. His grandfather was a big fan of the Washington Redskins. I doubt he would have liked the team’s change of name.
