Re: “Also the racist practice of discriminating against European immigration needs to be stopped.”

Very few north and western Europeans stay in the USA after graduating from elite USA universities.

The main reason - the standard of living and the pay scale in their home country is the same as or better than in the USA.

Also, the Europeans do not want to compete against thousands and thousands of Third World foreign graduates who are all chasing Green Cards.

Aside from pay issues, it’s a wrenching change. Looking at GDP per capita as a imperfect proxy for salary levels, Chinese pay is very roughly 1/7 of American levels today. That’s a huge increase from 1/64 in 1979 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_past_and_projected_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita#World_Bank_estimates_between_1970_and_1979 , when Deng Xiaoping began dismantling the kind of central economic planning that had cadres deciding what and how much to produce and issuing ration cards to the entire population. There was a time when Chinese grads of American universities would automatically attempt to find work stateside. That time is past. The tug of family ties and the familiar rhythms of life in their home country has drastically reduced the % of Chinese students who stay abroad after graduation. For anyone from a developed country, there’s very little incentive to move across an entire ocean even for double the pay. The exception *might* be if they find love stateside, or they work in a field with limited possibilities for advancement back home.

I didn’t know the situation was any different in their home countries. I suppose they have some kind of caste system which partially explains the uptick of violence in Western European countries.
