An American law professor recently made controversial statements about immigrants in the US - emphasizing on Indians. According to reports, the law professor from the University of Pennsylvania, Amy Wax, attacked Indians by saying that they were critical of everything the States even where "their own country is a shithole".

In her statements, Wax mentioned the caste system that is prevalent in India, and how Brahmins believe they are above people from other castes. She clubbed all Indian immigrants in one graph, and called India a "shit hole".

¡°There is just a tremendous amount of resentment and shame of non-western peoples against western peoples for western peoples¡¯ outsized achievements and contributions,¡± she said.

¡°It¡¯s really unbearable," Ms Wax added.

Her controversial comments were made on Friday during a live TV show with Tucker Carlson on Fox. She criticised Asian and South Asian Indian doctors at Penn Medicine.

The clip of the interview was shared on Twitter by Nikki Mccann Ram¨ªrez. The video was shared with the caption, "Penn Law professor Amy Wax tells Tucker Carlson that "Blacks" and other "non-western" groups harbor "resentment, shame, and envy" against western people for their "outsized achievements and contributions."

"Wax then attacks Indian immigrants for criticizing things in the US when "their country is a shithole" and goes on to say that "the role of envy and shame in the way that the third world regards the first world [...] creates ingratitude of the most monstrous kind," read the follow-up tweet.

People did not appreciate the law professor's remarks, and took to the comments section to criticise her.

One user wrote, "It's probably safe to say that Amy Wax's time as a professor at Penn Law School is coming to a swift and fiery end after this interview."

"Ask her who invented mathematics...lol. Pretty much the lynchpin to all technological advancement. Then do gun powder...then do steel...then do modern popular music...I'll wait," said another user.

"Has Amy Wax explained why her parents fled Europe for a better life in America?" wrote a third user.

The video has crossed over 1 million views on Twitter.
