Professor Amy Wax is competing for victimhood status by upping the ante on obnoxious public remarks, says Julian Zelizer.
Zelizer: She loves to elicit outrage by saying things like “women, on average, are less knowledgeable than men” Zelizer says she's not so much interested in persuasion as in pugnacity.
He says Wax branched out from her hostility to Third World immigrants to include Asians.

Frum says Wax seems to welcome martyrdom, but that’s not the only reason to withhold it from firing her.
