Who is Amy Wax? American law professor who made undesirable remarks on Indian immigrants

Amy Wax, an American Robert Mundheim Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, has made problematic remarks against Indian immigrants on the Tucker Carlson show on Fox News during an interview with the famous news host.

The professor, who has had a history of inflammatory remarks against certain ethnicities, is heard making a statement about “Brahmin women from India,” in the interview. “ Here’s the problem. They (Brahmin women from India) are taught that they are better than everybody else because they are Brahmin elites and yet, on some level, their country is a shit hole,” said Amy Wax on Fox News, while lamenting Asian, South Asian and Indian doctors at Pennsylvania Medicine University.

Amy Wax, who is an American lawyer, neurologist, and academic, has had the privilege of attending Yale, Oxford, Harvard, and Columbia Universities. While she graduated from Yale University in molecular biophysics and biochemistry, she did her Marshall Scholar in Philosophy, Physiology, and Psychology from Oxford University.
