Yeah. All those huts in Shanghai or Osaka, Xiamen or Kyoto and Shenzhen or Tokyo. You've obviously not been anywhere over there with any of those "mongrels." Better to be a 'ricer' than a racist fool...

NEW DELHI, NOV 14: India sent the highest number of students to the US for the fourth year in a row. At 80,466 students in 2004-05, it was a 1% increase over the previous year’s enrolment. Open Doors 2005, the annual report on international academic mobility published by the Institute of International Education (IIE) with support from the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, said China followed India having sent 62,523 students, a 1% increase in enrolment, after experiencing a decline of 5% the previous year.
The Republic of Korea, which remained the third leading sender for the fourth year in a row, sent 2% more students at 53,358. Japan, the fourth leading sender with 42,215 students, experienced an increase in enrollment of 3%, reversing a trend in declining enrollments that began three years ago.
Enrolments of students from Canada, the only non-Asian country in the top five, increased by 4% to 28,140. These five countries account for almost half (47%) of all international students in the US.
In 2004/05, the number of international students enrolled in U.S. higher education institutions remained fairly steady at 565,039, off about 1% from the previous year’s totals. This marked the sixth year in a row that US hosted more than half a million foreign students. This year’s numbers indicate a leveling off of enrolments, after last year’s decline of 2.4%.
Some campuses reported significant increases in enrolments while other campuses reported declines. Asia continued to be the largest sending region by a wide margin, and showed a slight increase in enrolments.
The slight overall decline in international students enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities has been attributed to several factors, including real and perceived difficulties in obtaining student visas (especially in scientific and technical fields), rising U.S. tuition costs, vigorous recruitment activities by other English-speaking nations, and perceptions abroad that it is more difficult for international students to go to the US.
We sneer at the Canadians and the Brits because they have to go to other counties to get medical care. On the other hand, I read recently that Americans are starting to go to India for surgery. Apparently, their doctors are usually educated here, are very competent, and a whole lot cheaper than American doctors. They also don't have to schedule you 18 months in advance.
The primary problem is that you have to be careful about where you go to get it done. You need to go to a reputable hospital.
I don't know why our politicians have let it come to this. Seems like there is a simple solution: just educate more doctors.
There is no doubt the US medical system is broken.
$6,500 for a hairline fracture on a wrist should be criminal.
My girlfriends mother had surgery to remove a tiny mole from her nose...it cost her dad $20,000.
You must not be the norm.
Most Indians i know in the US do NOT get the US citizenship after they get the permanent residency.
That's not true. I have never met an Indian student in the US that isn't a Brahmin. I am serious. I have never met anyone from the lowest castes. Most Indians I know are pretty well off in their own country already.
That's bullsh!t. I don't know much about your sample size, but I can see that it is miniscule. I can quite easily pick out names of Indians in America who aren't Brahmin. If you had researched better, before pulling this off, you would have realised that Brahmins, most of them, can be identified by their names.
You have GOT to be kidding.
That's how we got into this mess. Just make them undo what they did that got us into it.
"Meanwhile, American students placed last in math and science, but they felt REALLY GOOD about doing so, and they're first in knowing how to use a condom."
Yeah. The U.S. is so terribly concerned about educating every other nations students. Is there a real reason they can't stay in their own country for an education? After all, God did have them born to parents in different countries for a reason. Furthermore, how many of those students(directly or indirectly) have subsequently used that education/information AGAINST us?
"Every Dr I know personally is a raging alcoholic."
Dang it - I've failed again. Time to hit that bottle harder.
All things considered, the simplest answer is the best. Thus, I believe that Occam would've supported self-medication with alcohol.
"All things considered, the simplest answer is the best."
Agreed, which is why simplifying complex carbohydrates into a two-carbon fraction (C2H5OH) is a pursuit humans have been involved in since time immemorial.
Bottoms up........
If we left them to their madrassas to begin with instead of teaching them how to use technology--like our flight schools--we'd be a lot safer now--
Unless they could swim across the ocean to throw rocks at us.
If American companies want to move American jobs to places like China and India, then kick those companies out of America.
Let them go incorporate in China.
So we should make a law that says if an American company has operations in China or India, then they should just shut down all their US operations.
That would be great.
"If American companies want to move American jobs to places like China and India, then kick those companies out of America."
There ya go. Let the little slimey critters live there if they are so intent on supporting their work force and not ours. America does not need little traitors like that in our midst!!! Our constitution does not uphold such betrayal. George Washington would send the traitors far away...
If they'd do it.
American workers are smarter and harder working than any other workers in the world.
The only reason companies move jobs offshore is becausee foreign workers live in huts and eat rice every night, so they can afford to work for peanuts.
Spoken like a true sneering isolationist about the Dirty Japs on December 6, 1941.
Yeah. All those huts in Shanghai or Osaka, Xiamen or Kyoto and Shenzhen or Tokyo. You've obviously not been anywhere over there with any of those "mongrels." Better to be a 'ricer' than a racist fool...
Most of them I have known are either Brahmin or the next caste. I have never met a Dalit in the US.
And about all of them are fairly well off when compared with other foreign students.
BTW, i think it is great that other students from other countries can come here to study and have no problems with it, but please don't tell me that Indian students are from all walks of the economic ladder, it's simply not true. Never met a Dalit in the US and i know enough Indians to make this statement.
Not surprising.
These days the only reason to be a doctor is if you are "called" to it in the same way that missionaries are "called" to third world countries, and it's only going to get worse. Not surprising a sizeable percentage of med school students are foreigners who probably applied dreaming of making 300K in the United States and retiring at 40. Poor saps.
