harvard university, and i tell about this in my book in "inconvenient minority", harvard university gradesnts on three things, extracurriculars academics, and a personality score. but what they do with the personality score interlace objectives and metric, they use it to discriminate against asian-americans, stereotypes against asian-americans to say we are just testing robots with no personality. that is what they are doing to try to lower our composition in these elite universities and it is damaging our culture of excellence. >> tucker: that is it and that's why am offended. it is not about the race of anyone involved with the american idea, which is if you work hard, if you are talented we have a place to ascend the ladder. it's not closed but open. the whole point of the country and a lot of asian immigrants particularly bought into that and thought that was the case which is where they came here and found something different. >> yes. tucker, chinese americans know this perhaps better than many other americans because china underwent its own cultural revolution, right, where they disc

i began doing the research when i got a fellowship at harvard university. and at harvard at that time there was not a single professor of labor history. at this point now there's only one major newspaper that employs a full time labor reporter. that's "the new york times," and it's steven greenhouse. and he has a lonely job. now, many people advocate heartily for free trade today, but there aren't a lot of people speaking up for the offense of the working people in america. and in fact that's what francis perkins devoted her life to do, talk about the life of working people and find ways to solve those problems, ways that could also keep america's businesses strong and prosps. now if she was standing here today i can almost assuredly tell you what do you think she'd be talking about? she'd be talking about jobs today, how to generate jobs and how to bring good paying jobs back to america. she'd be talking about smart employers who are finding ways to grow their work forces, economic policies that bring good paying jobs back to america. and she'd be talking a
