I already see it happening here in NYC. You meet someone who works at a high level in science, say chemistry, and he feels more of a connection/kinship to some chemist in sweden than the waitress in Idaho. When you point out that she's an American and the Swedish guy isn't, he'll say, "why do you think I left Ohio?"
They are taking little jabs here at the public school system, which is excellent. I think one reason they hate this particular system is that it really delivers, and disproves their complaints about public education.
