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 nation's technical and intellectual machinery and become essential American workers. Yet, they've been forced to do so in the face of policy proposals—written in the name of diversity—excluding them from the upper ranks of the elite.

Journalist Kenny Xu traces elite America's longstanding unease about a minority potentially upending them. Leftist agendas, such as eliminating standardized testing and lumping Asians into "privileged" categories 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 Blasio's attempted makeover of New York City's Specialized School programs to the battle over "diversity" quotas in Google's and Facebook's progressive epicenters, to the rise of Asian American activism.

An Inconvenient Minority chronicles the political and economic repression and renaissance of a long ignored racial identity group—and how they are central to reversing America's cultural decline and preserving the dynamism of the free world.

The story is equally true for immigrants from many countries. I have known so many immigrants families from different countries, black, white, brown. It is that they are not easily grouped, but nonetheless all have the same work ethic and emphasis on education

This really brings to light how laws and initiative often have unintended consequences. The author did not focus on himself, but rather offered a variety of testimonials to illustrate his points.

Enjoyed the testimonials

This really breaks down the lunacy of the left pushing race into the center of American culture and how it’s destroying the country.

Kenny Xu helps give voice to the voiceless. I hope historians consider this long disregarded perspective.

I'm an Asian and would highly recommend this book not only for other Asian Americans, but for anybody who believes that discrimination in the name of so-called diversity equity inclusion mandates is simply racism by another name. the book makes an excellent argument against racist policies that are increasingly endorsed by today's political left by pointing out the real harms that result.

Xu highlights how Asians are mistreated and left behind by progressive and liberal policies, how they are culturally diminished and overlooked, and how this treatment harms good kids

Highly recommend this book. For those who have not yet opened their minds and eyes, the agenda that is now in its final stage of fully completing the new world totalitarian dictatorships ought to make your skin crawl with all those emotions those of us who went abroad to fight the very thing so many of our brethren escaped.

It is now here, stumping on the bodies of the 100,000s of thousand of our boys and girls who gave their life fighting against despotism, Marxism, dictatorships.

You're our front lines of defense now.

But sadly, even places like Texas the blue hair mob, the exmilitary warriors, now Xbox and Playstation warriors, who defend their polygamous, poliamorous, transgender bodies, because they say these were their bodies who fought the battles, most of them never saw actual combat, but use it now in order to cover themselves with a thin veneer of unreproachable stature.

These are the battlegrounds we must stand up against today.

The battle lines have been drawn and retreat is not an option from here henceforth.

Thank you Kenny Xu for bringing this information to light.

This is a well researched and eye opening Book!

this tells the story of the prejudices faced by Asians but did not really say how Harvard gets away with making it harder for Asians to attend other than to say Harvard is powerful. suggests Asians should be more activists but is that the best suggestion?

good review, but sorry does not have an end
