Xenny Xu is a conservative American author, politician, and activist who opposes affirmative action policies and progressive transgender policies.
Background
Kenneth M. “Kenny” Xu was born on August 6, 1997 to Cheng Kenneth Xu and Weiguang Grace Zhang (both born 1967). Xu attended Princeton High School in Princeton, New Jersey. Xu applied to Princeton University for college but was rejected. Xu believes this was due to policies that penalize applicants of Asian descent.
Xu earned a bachelor’s degree from Davidson College in 2019. While there, Xu interened at Young America Foundation and Heritage Foundation.
Xu is involved in activism opposing affirmative action, founding Color Us United and serving on the board of Students for Fair Admissions, the group that prevailed in a landmark 2023 Supreme Court ruling against Harvard over race-based admission policies.
Xu has authored books, including:
- Trisk (2013)
- An Inconvenient Minority: The Harvard Admissions Case and the Attack on Asian American Excellence (2021)=
- School of Woke: How Critical Race Theory Infiltrated American Schools and Why We Must Reclaim Them (2023)
Anti-trans activism
Xu has stated opposition to healthcare for trans and gender diverse youth, as well as opposition for sex education until after many students have reached puberty. Xu stated:
Most Americans and I are supportive of topics around sexuality to be out of the classroom until at least middle school. But transgender care outfits like UNC Health and ECU Health claim to “work with schools” to identity kids who are eligible for their transitioning clinics.
Xu has appeared on several shows with anti-trans hosts, including Tim Pool, Megyn Kelly, Robby Soave, Lauren Chen, Debra Soh, Peter Boghossian, Allie Beth Stuckey, Christopher Rufo, Benjamin Boyce, Vivek Ramaswamy, James Lindsay, Charles Murray, Tucker Carlson, Jonathan Kay, and Sebastian Gorka.
Xu is an advisor to anti-trans group Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism.
