In 2020, during the furor over Asian American quotas in elite universities, Kendi claimed, “Standardized tests have become the most effective racist weapon ever devised to objectively degrade Black and Brown minds and legally exclude their bodies from prestigious schools.” Asians benefit from standardized tests, standardized tests are weapons of racism, therefore, Asians are racist oppressors. Get it?
This is leaping to a conclusion not borne out by the quote you chose, which literally doesn't even mention Asians at all. This is intellectually dishonest. Whether or not Kendi went on to draw this conclusion I don't know so I'm not defending him, but it's sus af for you to connect these two things without showing your work, which leads me to believe he actually didn't say this at all, otherwise you gleefully would have quoted it. So where does this libelous argument even get you??
