Thomas Sowell: Race and resentment

May 4, 2010 By admin

Thomas Sowell writes:

Recent stories out of both Philadelphia and San Francisco tell of black students beating up Asian American students. (…)

Those who explain racial antagonisms on some rationalistic basis will have a hard time demonstrating how Asian Americans have made blacks worse off. (…)

Achievements are a reflection on others who may have had similar, and sometimes better, chances but who did not make the most of their chances. Achievements are like a slap across the face to those who are not achieving, and many people react with the same kind of anger that such an insult would provoke.
