Summary

The left wants to blame white supremacy for every problem in the world, from inequality, injustice, in the prison system, and in the workforce, probably your sickness and diseases are caused by one thing: white supremacy. That s what we are told. White supremacy is the cause of all the evil. We are in a systematically racist country, and that s why we need policies that will disadvantage whites and give advantages to other racial groups.

00:00:00.000 Welcome back to The Michael Knowles Show. I'm Michael Knowles. I recently sat down with my
00:00:04.720 friend Kenny Zhu. Kenny has a book out on an inconvenient minority. You know, the left wants
00:00:10.640 to blame white people for every problem in the world, and they blame white supremacy and whiteness,
00:00:15.440 and we need to abolish it, and we need affirmative action to disadvantage the white people. But what
00:00:19.720 about, what about the Asians? You know, affirmative action harms Asians as well.
00:00:26.460 They just don't seem to fit the left's racial narrative. So I sat down with Kenny, who's got a
00:00:29.860 tremendous new book out on what this means for the left's racial views. Every ill of society,
00:00:37.460 from inequality, injustice in the prison system, in the workforce, in the universities,
00:00:46.260 probably your sickness and diseases, is caused by one thing, white supremacy. That's what we are told.
00:00:52.460 White supremacy is the cause of all the evil. We are in a systematically racist country, and that is why
00:00:59.300 we need certain policies that will disadvantage whites and give advantages to other racial groups.
00:01:06.420 Okay, you know, you probably don't agree with that assessment of everything, but you will agree
00:01:10.600 that is what is going on. But there's this really strange fact about this regime of affirmative action
00:01:16.980 and legal racial discrimination. Namely, everything is allegedly, all the terrible things are caused by
00:01:24.360 white supremacy. And yet, Asians get punished as well. Asians, I guess, became white somehow. So in order
00:01:33.620 to attack white supremacy, you're going to disadvantage Asians in university admissions, most notably, but in
00:01:40.740 other institutions and in the workplace as well. I can't wrap my head really around any of it, but
00:01:47.100 certainly not around that aspect. So here to help me make some sense of it is Kenny Hsu. You may have read his
00:01:53.020 writing in The Federalist, in Quillette. He is the president of Color Us United, and he is the author of a really
00:02:00.140 terrific upcoming book, An Inconvenient Minority, The Attack on Asian American Excellence and the Fight for
00:02:05.920 Meritocracy. Kenny, thank you for coming on.
00:02:08.420 Thank you, Michael, for having me.
00:02:11.500 So Kenny, look, I, as a swarthy American, there's a hyphen between the Y and the A, as a swarthy
00:02:17.060 American, I understand the aspects of whiteness, and I understand the aspects of non-whiteness,
00:02:23.900 and I know the supremacy and whatever. How the hell did Asians get lumped in with all of this?
00:02:29.860 Because we were too successful. That's what happened. There's really no other way to explain
00:02:39.380 it. Asian Americans came to this country. They were heavily discriminated against, you know,
00:02:46.840 Chinese exclusion, Japanese internment. You know, in California, California was actually a state where
00:02:53.620 a lot of black Americans went to seek emancipation and freedom. And yet at the same time in California,
00:02:59.920 Asian Americans were often treated cruelly and very viciously. And so that was actually an example
00:03:04.840 of a time and a place where Asian Americans were actually treated even crueler and relegated even
00:03:09.900 lower on the racial hierarchy than black Americans in California at the time. So look, you know, Asian
00:03:15.480 Americans have experienced discrimination, but they've still managed to succeed in this country. And
00:03:23.460 actually they're doing quite well. They have higher socioeconomic indicators, higher rates of education
00:03:30.720 than even white Americans in this country. They show that this, how that this country cannot still
00:03:38.940 be a country that's founded upon white supremacy, because if it was founded upon white supremacy,
00:03:43.680 why did it let all of these Asian Americans get ahead of them?
00:03:47.040 Right. Because I guess the theory of white supremacy is that the, the social structure of
00:03:53.440 the United States is now and has always been constructed such that really only whites can
00:04:01.060 succeed. And every other racial group that is not white is kept down in terms of social flourishing,
00:04:07.920 personal flourishing, terms of professional accomplishment, in terms of academics and so on.
00:04:13.240 And yet the Asians on most of those markers, if not all of those markers do better than anyone else in
00:04:21.300 the country. So then I have to ask you, you've, you've demolished the white supremacy argument, I
00:04:26.380 think, unless, unless white people are just under the misapprehension that Asians are white as well. And so
00:04:31.540 they sort of let them in, but even that wouldn't make sense because the Asians do better a lot of the
00:04:34.720 time. So if it's not the social white supremacist structure that we're all told about, what is it? Is it, is it,
00:04:42.120 is it something in the water, in the ancestral lands of East Asia? Where, why is it that Asians are
00:04:47.400 doing better?
00:04:49.180 Well, because, and I talk about this in my book, An Inconvenient Minority, um, Asian Americans,
00:04:56.760 first of all, it's not IQ. That's another thing that needs to be clarified because actually studies
00:05:02.360 show that Asian Americans with lower IQs than white Americans still end up performing better
00:05:07.240 socioeconomically.
00:05:08.220 So you're not saying, because I know, you know, I never get into the IQ stuff because I, I just,
00:05:12.600 I'm not particularly expert in it. I find it to be something of a distraction,
00:05:17.260 but you're not saying that IQ tests don't show that Asians have higher IQ because I've seen plenty
00:05:23.700 of reports and things that say that Asians have higher IQs. What you're saying is the high IQ is
00:05:30.760 not the determining factor. No, it's not the determining factor. Um, Asian success in this
00:05:37.980 nation, uh, stems more from the cultural values of what Asian Americans bring to the table in this
00:05:44.900 country. Um, and I'll touch on that a little bit later, but, but basically you cannot substitute for
00:05:52.920 studying and Asian Americans study twice as many hours per week as the average American. Uh, they
00:06:00.100 study 15 hours a week. The average American studies about seven. Um, they have stronger two parent
00:06:06.460 structures, which limits the rate of crime, which limits drug use and which just generally raises a
00:06:12.780 better educated child. And this is something that, that, that transcends just IQ, just genetics,
00:06:22.000 that kind of thing. Asian American culture really informs their ability to succeed in this nation.
00:06:27.620 That's why you have Vietnamese Americans who come to this country, literally 80% of them don't even
00:06:34.660 speak English well. And within one generation, their kids graduate from college at a higher rate than
00:06:40.800 even white Americans. Well, I I've seen it happen and I'll be, you know, having, uh, been in college
00:06:46.820 not all that long ago, I do remember Asians are extraordinarily well represented, including at the
00:06:52.360 top colleges in the country. So much so in fact, that these elite prestigious universities have
00:06:59.760 effectively quota systems for Asians. It's not quite, I suppose it's not quite quota systems. It's that
00:07:05.120 they hold Asians to a much, much higher standard. And this, uh, came out, uh, not that long
00:07:10.660 ago at Harvard and at Yale. And look, this is the downside of, this is the downside of Asian success
00:07:19.580 in this nation. Um, Asians have come on to this, into this country so strong. This is the thesis of
00:07:26.680 my book and inconvenient minority. Asian Americans have come onto this country so strong and so quick
00:07:32.080 that it actually incites resentment from the American elite. Because if you're an American elite,
00:07:38.640 you know, a member of the, uh, liberal elite class and you want your kid to get into the
00:07:43.100 prestigious colleges, the prestigious jobs, that kind of thing, your main competition is not
00:07:49.420 black Americans. It's not Hispanic Americans. It's actually Asian Americans at the top for those high
00:07:55.520 achieving intellectual power. And, and what happens is Asian Americans who largely keep their head down
00:08:01.220 and they work, um, don't have the political capital to fight back. So now you have Harvard
00:08:07.520 university in the name of diversity and inclusion saying, Hey, we want more people of black and Hispanic
00:08:13.240 races, but who tends to get cut? Actually, Asian Americans tend to get cut. And now you have top
00:08:19.580 gifted and talented programs like Thomas Jefferson high school in Fairfax, Virginia, which used to be
00:08:25.900 70% Asian. Uh, the, the district board after Ibram Kendi came and spoke, um, the district board, uh,
00:08:33.760 created a new admissions program that says, Hey, admissions, admissions is going to be a lottery.
00:08:37.640 And what happened then is that they actually cut the percentage of Asians in that school by half.
00:08:43.120 Now, what, what is the solution? Because, you know, when you make these arguments against
00:08:49.260 affirmative action on the basis that you're discriminating against white people,
00:08:53.740 it falls on deaf ears. I don't think it should. I don't think that it's any more just to discriminate
00:08:59.620 against white people than it is to discriminate against any other race of people, but that's the
00:09:04.780 way it works. However, when you, when you mentioned the Asian students, some of whom are recent
00:09:10.200 immigrants, some of whom come from very, very low, you know, socioeconomic circumstances, uh, then it,
00:09:16.040 it starts to raise this issue a little bit more, at least in the public consciousness. There are these
00:09:20.440 high profile cases at Harvard, the DOJ under president Trump looked into what Yale was,
00:09:24.940 Yale was doing exactly the same thing. However, you, you say it right here. What happens is that
00:09:31.500 students of other races, notably black students will be given preferential treatment and the people
00:09:38.460 paying the price will be white students and especially Asian students. So what is the solution?
00:09:43.480 Is the solution here to tell these universities, sorry, you can't do that. Everyone's going to have
00:09:48.420 their SATs weighted exactly the same way. If they're even still going to look at the SATs,
00:09:52.840 everyone's going to have their GPA weighted exactly the same way. And if the university ends up being
00:09:57.340 overwhelmingly or almost entirely Asian and white, then that's just the way things are going to happen.
00:10:03.160 Is anyone really going to go for that for even in theory, uh, given how, how much we value diversity
00:10:11.300 in this country? So there, there are two things that you say that are just, that are really important.
00:10:16.320 Uh, I want to touch on the latter thing that you say, which is, Hey, what happens if your university
00:10:20.860 just becomes 50% Asian? Uh, you know, um, first of all, first of all, you have to ask your question.
00:10:28.620 You have to ask, actually, it's funny because there is a very conservative guy, a very conservative
00:10:33.480 gentleman who I've been talking about this issue, um, who, who brings up this point and he's,
00:10:38.520 he leads a great think tank. Um, but, and he brings up this point. He says, well,
00:10:43.660 would America tolerate a country where the 100% of the people at the top are of a certain race?
00:10:52.580 And, you know, a hundred percent of the people at the bottom are of a certain race. Um, and you
00:10:57.400 have to bring, you have to bring up the, the idea of, of the American dream. And the American dream
00:11:04.340 says, when you come to this country and when you decide to become an American, you say, we will be
00:11:11.880 treated on the content of our character, not the color of our skin. And, and, and so what that
00:11:17.360 insinuates and what, sorry, not insinuates, what that creates is that creates the notion of equal
00:11:22.460 opportunity, right? Everybody here should be given equal opportunities to succeed. You know,
00:11:27.000 they should be given a good education. They should be, um, given an equal chance in terms of healthcare
00:11:32.140 and everything like that. But, you know, that does some people, regardless of whatever initiatives
00:11:39.260 that you have will naturally rise to the top academically, Asian Americans disproportionately
00:11:43.920 naturally rise to the top academically. And they do that because they work hard. And so that should
00:11:50.220 be a wake up call to the rest of the nation that says, Hey, you know, that, that is incentive for you
00:11:56.420 to work hard too. Um, and I think that that, that's a big thing that, that we need to touch on in terms
00:12:02.440 of this book as well. Kenny, I cannot believe you would use such a vile and offensive and bigoted
00:12:07.400 phrase as hard work. We were told within the last few years by places like the Smithsonian Institution
00:12:15.000 that terms like hard work, objective truth, diligence are their white supremacist dog whistles.
00:12:22.720 It's not a joke. I mean, this has been out here in the mainstream. And so I don't want to straw man
00:12:27.760 what the radical left would say, but, but what they would, what I think they would say in their
00:12:32.760 stronger argument is, look, Kenny, it's true. A lot of Asian immigrants come here and they don't
00:12:38.420 have a lot of money and some of them really don't have two nickels to rub together and they work hard
00:12:42.360 and that's great. But they are not saddled with the legacy of slavery whereby not all, but many
00:12:50.280 black Americans ancestors came over in slave ships. They were discriminated against. There was a system
00:12:55.600 whereby anti-black racism was tolerated and encouraged. And then after slavery, you had Jim
00:13:02.960 Crow, you had redlining, you had all sorts of things. And then frankly, even many of the welfare
00:13:08.440 programs intended to help the black families actually ended up hurting the black families
00:13:12.160 anymore. So no matter what kind of destitution Asians come from to this country, they will never
00:13:17.860 have had it as bad as black people did. And so you say equal opportunity, what equal opportunity?
00:13:23.440 Blacks in this country simply don't have it. And I think this is where you hear this talk
00:13:27.940 from people like Kamala Harris and others of equity. We don't want equality of opportunity.
00:13:33.040 We want equity whereby some people get preferential treatment and inevitably others are disadvantaged.
00:13:39.880 Yeah. You know, well now we're comparing discrimination narratives. Um, and you know, let, let's just,
00:13:45.500 let's just take, let, let's just take that at face value that black Americans have a higher order
00:13:54.300 discrimination narrative than, than, than Asian Americans. Let's just take that at face value.
00:13:58.700 The problem is that the affirmative action policies that Harvard uses don't even necessarily benefit,
00:14:04.560 say the, the, the generations of slavery that, that the, the black Americans that actually have
00:14:11.060 been trapped in generations of slavery. Actually Harvard, 40% of Harvard's black class is actually
00:14:18.840 black immigrant class. And a lot of people don't realize that. And then the other thing is, uh,
00:14:24.560 we mentioned before that you would want a, uh, that, that, and that a policy of affirmative action,
00:14:32.820 um, would, would benefit blacks and Hispanics at the expense of whites and Asians. Um, well it would
00:14:41.480 also, Harvard's policy of affirmative action actually also benefits a certain strata of elite society of
00:14:48.700 elite blacks and elite whites that are legacies that are children of donors. In fact, Harvard's own
00:14:54.220 admission system is nearly 10% children of donors. Yeah. Nearly 10%. I'm shocked it's that low. I thought it
00:15:01.940 would be higher. Our children of donors, you know, and, and when I say admissions should be a
00:15:09.920 meritocracy, when I say that hiring promotion should be a race blind meritocracy, this is what
00:15:15.020 I'm meaning. I'm meaning we should eliminate the facets of admission and the facets of hiring that
00:15:20.440 are irrelevant to a person's merit. And I think that that's not just going to benefit Asian Americans.
00:15:25.580 That's not just going to benefit white Americans, but that is going to benefit deserving black Americans
00:15:30.620 and deserving Latino Americans as well. Now you're calling for what I think a lot of people would
00:15:36.640 prefer, which is a more meritocratic system that does not pay a ton of attention to people's race
00:15:41.600 and, you know, considers race as a very low, low end factor and focuses on things that are more
00:15:47.200 important. And yet, and yet at the same time, we're seeing the rise of the black lives matter
00:15:53.480 movement. You're seeing on the very fringes of the right, some more identitarian impulses among white
00:16:00.660 people. And, and you're seeing notably, and Pew Research put out this survey some years ago,
00:16:07.760 what seems to be a rise in racial consciousness. So I remember Pew Research asked different respondents
00:16:16.620 to a survey, is your race somewhat or very important to your identity? And for white people,
00:16:25.000 the number was very low. It was about 15%, very low racial consciousness. For every other racial group,
00:16:31.020 Asians, Hispanics, and blacks, the number was greater than 50%. And for, for black respondents,
00:16:36.480 it was over 70%. So very, very high racial consciousness for everyone except for whites. And then in the,
00:16:43.760 in, on the left right now, we're being told that race is, is the essential part of our identity.
00:16:49.100 And we, we need a much higher racial consciousness. And of course, many, you know, conservative
00:16:53.780 commentators who really detest the idea of racial consciousness pointed out years ago, they said,
00:16:58.800 if everyone else is going to have more of a racial consciousness, then eventually that's going to have
00:17:02.780 to come to white people as well. You can't have a system where, where you're told there's no such
00:17:07.460 thing as, as white people and race doesn't matter for you, but we hate you because you're white
00:17:12.280 people and we all value our race very, very much. That's just a very unstable system.
00:17:17.200 So are we going to get the Kenny shoe version where people get what they deserve and it's
00:17:21.660 meritocratic or are the forces of racial identity politics just too strong?
00:17:27.520 Racial identity politics is always going to be strong, but I mean, this is the work that I'm
00:17:31.020 doing with colorist united, colorist united.org. Uh, it is true. Actually 75% of black Americans
00:17:37.280 believe that their race is important or very important. We need to acknowledge that 50% of Asian
00:17:41.280 Americans believe the same 15% of white Americans believe the same. But what we also know is that
00:17:47.380 fixating on race at actually psychologically tends to produce a worse self-confidence, worse life
00:17:55.180 outcomes, higher rates of depression, everything like that. There was a survey and also it actually
00:18:00.100 even skews your reality when you fixate on race, because there is a professor named Dr. Eric Kaufman,
00:18:05.400 um, who released a study that showed that a substantial majority of, of, of black Americans
00:18:14.380 who voted for Biden, um, when asked the question who got, where, what, what, what kills more black
00:18:23.160 Americans every year, car crashes or police shootings, a substantial majority of black Americans
00:18:29.160 chose police shootings and, uh, who, who voted for Biden. And the reality is no car crashes killed,
00:18:38.040 killed black Americans higher over 10 times more than, than police shootings. Um, and, and so when
00:18:46.580 you fixate on race, when you, when you make race, your identity, it actually skews your reality and it
00:18:52.120 skews you away from being able to engage in the fruits of society.
00:18:55.820 I, I totally agree with you. I have noticed that race does make people crazy.
00:19:02.260 I, I think I know why. I think I have some idea, but I, I would be curious to hear your thoughts. I
00:19:08.000 mean, everybody you, you see seems to be retreating right now into these bizarre identities. You know,
00:19:13.580 the, I suppose mostly race, but also sexual identities, whether it's one's sexual preferences or
00:19:19.760 one's, uh, gender identity or, you know, men who think that they're women or the 7,000 new genders
00:19:25.400 that people can pretend to have. Uh, why is that? I mean, why does identity seem to be multiplying
00:19:32.500 and in all these really bizarre ways? Because people, because people want to feel like they
00:19:40.680 belong. Um, people, people want to feel like they belong. Um, you know, I, I got a lot of flack
00:19:47.980 recently for a tweet that I wrote where, um, I said, I, when I was growing up in my community,
00:19:57.820 um, and I lived in a very diverse community, a lot of Chinese people, Indian people, black Americans,
00:20:02.340 white Americans. I grew up in Virginia and Richmond. Um, I, I did not have a racial sense or a racial
00:20:11.580 sensibility. I sure. Did I think that people looked different? Yeah, but that did not, it did not occur
00:20:17.340 to me whatsoever that I would be true need to treat another person differently or that I am
00:20:23.060 subconsciously treating a person differently because of how they look. I looked at all of the other things
00:20:27.940 that a person brought to the table, but we, we are, we are being molded into a mental reality where,
00:20:35.220 where we find that your race is mattering more important in your life and it's going to cause
00:20:41.500 people to look at people in a racialized way. Uh, and so this, this I think is the new reality that
00:20:47.080 we are being threatened to live in by leftist ideologues who want to preserve this, um, this
00:20:52.720 racial ideology usually for their own gain. I think that's a very good point. And the, and this sense of
00:20:58.260 belonging reminds me of a line that a priest, a priest friend of mine mentioned some years ago where he
00:21:03.560 said, you know, when you find your identity in, I am that I am, which is the name that God gives to
00:21:10.520 Moses. He, Moses says, who are you? He says, tell them I am that I am. And Christ says this too. He
00:21:14.600 says, before Abraham was, I am. When you find your identity in being himself, you know, the very essence
00:21:21.220 of being, then you can know who you are. And when you don't, when you turn away from that, then you
00:21:27.940 are left with this very pathetic question. Who am I? It's like a teenager who goes through a goth period and
00:21:32.500 then he goes through a punk period and then he got whatever, you know, you just try on all these
00:21:36.280 identities and they multiply and they get very, very silly. The Christian culture that shaped the
00:21:42.240 West, uh, created, you know, maybe for the first time in the history of the world, anti-racism. I
00:21:49.460 know that's a loaded term now, but, but it created a culture where race really did not matter at all.
00:21:54.100 And it strikes me that this is basically the first time in human history, the last, I don't know,
00:21:59.480 70 years or so that race hasn't been all that big of a deal everywhere else in the world. It
00:22:04.680 remains a very big deal in now in the United States. If the left gets their way, then, then
00:22:09.860 it's going to become a big deal. So is that, are we just going back to the old normal, the old
00:22:14.220 pre-Christian, I don't know, non-Christian or is this, is this inevitable because of the forces of
00:22:19.280 history and human nature, or is there some, some hope on this question?
00:22:24.920 Tribalism has always been here. It's not the fact that tribalism exists, that we should be
00:22:28.820 surprised. It's the fact that we've been able to transcend tribalism to some extent that should
00:22:33.000 surprise us. That should shock us. And, and a lot of that does have to do with the Christian
00:22:38.500 foundations. All men are created equal. Martin Luther King articulated those foundations so
00:22:43.860 well when he said, I have a dream that my four children will be treated on the content of the
00:22:47.480 character, not in the color of their skin. Um, we have a resurgence of tribalism once more that,
00:22:55.940 that is, that is not based, that is actually, it's actually, people will say that it is, um,
00:23:03.120 anti-racist, uh, but the roots of it are actually, uh, anti, anti, anti-Christian, uh, anti-Christian
00:23:10.920 and anti-spiritual, uh, they, they're trying to create a new spirituality with a new source of meaning.
00:23:18.380 And that meaning is you are guilty because you are white and you are innocent because you are
00:23:24.800 black. And of course that, that is not true. The truth is regardless of whether you're white or black
00:23:31.500 or, or Asian or native American or anything, we all sin and we all are under the wrath of God. Um,
00:23:40.420 and so that, that is, that is a truth that, that is being quickly decapitated by critical race theory.
00:23:46.620 This raises a strange observation at the moment, which is we are told on the one hand,
00:23:52.100 our race just is who we are. That is our identity, white, bad, you know, any, any one else good,
00:23:59.660 I guess, except for Asian, you're kind of in the strange middle ground, this inconvenient minority,
00:24:03.940 as you might say. So on the one hand, we're just, we're just meat puppets, right? We're just our
00:24:08.140 bodies. And yet at the same time, we are told that actually our bodies have nothing to do with who we
00:24:13.800 are. And if I'm a man, maybe I'm a woman. I, if I, if I think in some way that I'm a woman,
00:24:19.440 then really I am a woman. You can become a transgender, but whenever people try to become
00:24:24.920 transracial, which many have Rachel Dolezal, an NYU professor, uh, uh, a number of high profile cases of
00:24:33.600 this, that's considered somehow off limits. But, but what is it? Are, are we our bodies or are we
00:24:41.040 nothing to do with our bodies? Why, why, how are these two things simultaneously being pushed
00:24:45.740 by the left? Yeah, this is, this is why, uh, the Harvard admissions process and just bring it all
00:24:55.680 back. This is why the Harvard admissions process is so interesting because race really is a collection
00:25:02.960 of stereotypes. That's what it is. It's, it's really a collection. Otherwise, why would you even
00:25:08.260 care that somebody else looks different than you? Unless you ascribe something, some trait to the fact
00:25:13.220 that someone looks different than you, you know, and the trait that Harvard assigns Asian Americans,
00:25:19.640 the stereotype that Harvard pushed, puts Asian Americans in is that we are test taking, overachieving
00:25:26.620 robots with no personality. And how do I know this? Because Harvard rates Asian Americans lowest on
00:25:35.100 the personality score. Right, right, right. Could you, I mean, just to, just, you know, 30 seconds or a
00:25:40.600 minute for people who don't know what the personality score is. This is an actual facet of the Harvard
00:25:45.580 admissions. And I don't know what it is, Kenny, you seem like an amiable chap to me, but, uh, Harvard
00:25:50.380 apparently doesn't think that you have much of a personality. It's, it's, this is, I mean, and this
00:25:57.860 is, this is the absurdity of it all because there, there's, there's, there is a glaring, um, piece in
00:26:06.400 all of this where if you are going to have so-called race conscious admissions or extending it further,
00:26:12.360 a race conscious curriculum or critical race theory curriculum, then you necessarily have to
00:26:18.800 stereotype. That's exactly what you're doing. You're actually looking at another race and you're
00:26:23.320 saying the people of your race have this certain trait that that's what you're doing. And that's
00:26:26.640 what Harvard has been doing. And so this is why this admissions system that has been going on for 30
00:26:31.060 years, discriminating against Asian Americans is so such a valuable resource for anybody that actually
00:26:37.120 wants to understand what the left is doing with race, um, to, to, to look at. It's a great little
00:26:43.300 key. I think it really, in this very direct way, it's subtle, but it's direct, just dismantles the
00:26:50.560 whole crazy racial theory. The book is called An Inconvenient Minority. The author is Kenny Shue.
00:26:55.440 Kenny, uh, best of luck with the book. I really recommend people go read. I read it. I really
00:26:59.420 enjoyed it. So go check that out. Everybody and Kenny, thank you for being with us. Absolutely. Thank
00:27:05.580 you, Michael.
