About those rich and crazy Asians
The movie Crazy Rich Asians captures the growing sense that economic power is shifting from the West to the East.
WE have all been told that American society is "racist" and that a bias in favour of "white privilege" determines your economic and social status.
Racism is in the DNA of America, argue left-leaning critics and social justice warriors (SJWs). Need we remind you of slavery and racial segregation. The 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act that denied American citizenship of Chinese labourers. The internment of more than 100,000 American citizens of Japanese ancestry during World War II.
And now we are supposedly facing the rise of groups promoting White Supremacy and have a nativist president occupying the White House.
