   Wait, I thought we were talking about Amy Chua, and now you're describing Alice Goffman.

   Without accepting her conclusions, I think her notion of *market dominant minorities* is valid as a sociological concept.

   everything amy has ever written has to be cleaned up by social scientists bc she simply doesn't know wtf she's talking about

   Isn't that still major success for a law professor?

   In my encounters with Chua it's been clear to me that she's incredibly shallow and has a very hollywood mover-shaker approach to legal scholarship. She's very very well connected, but she's also a lapdog for juris prudence elites. It's just weird and I don't care for her at all.

   She's 100% racist and definitely favors white students over everyone and anyone else, including asians. She only likes "a certain type" of asian student.

   She is an antisemite. She pointed out that Russia's Oligarch's were mostly jewish, which was both dangerous, and not a coincidence.

   What type, efcb? I don't like her either. She spreads antisemitism and then says she is married to a jew, like that matters.

   Is it inaccurate to point out that Russia's billionaire oligarchs are mostly Jewish?
   Isn't it kind of like pointing out that most Fortune 500 CEO's are white men?

   She can’t be racist, because racism is an expression of power. Only those who hold power are racist, thus a cis female minority as her cannot be racist. Maybe her husband is the racist one, and he’s using (abusing!) her as a channel for his racism.

    She is currently experiencing a nervous breakdown. I might not agree with her views but I think that her reputation has been ruined for no good reason over some silly comment that some insecure grad student misunderstood. I read some of her book and she talks about upholding her family's honor over the generations.

    Tiger Moms don't get nervous breakdowns, just like Tiger Cubs don't get sexually harassed.
