Higher Ed Now kicks off 2023 with a conversation between Steve McGuire, ACTA's Paul & Karen Levy Fellow in Campus Freedom, and KENNY XU, president of the raceblind advocacy group Color Us United, an organization that investigates and takes on corporations whose woke policies are potentially harming employees and our culture of excellence. Mr. Xu authored the book An Inconvenient Minority, and hosts the podcast Inconvenient Minority, which deeply investigates race, identity, and culture. He has written commentary for the Wall Street Journal, City Journal, Quillette, Newsweek, The New York Post, National Review, The Federalist, and many more.  His journalism is beloved by communities of all races who share his passion for making the United States a more fair and meritocratic society.  He has spoken on colorblindness and critical race theory in front of groups as diverse as the nationally renowned Pacific Legal Foundation, the Boston Rally for Education Rights, and the all-Black Connecticut Parents Union. Mr. Xu's commentary has propelled him to interviews with Fox News, Newsweek, and features in the New York Times Magazine and NPR. As the youngest board member of the Asian-American Coalition for Education and Students for Fair Admissions and an identity politics journalist for nearly two years, he has unique and unprecedented access to the major players fighting the deep racial ideologies propagated within academics today.
