To be honest, I’m more worried by the effect it is already having on immigration and the calls from certain politicians to “reduce Asian students”. Besides the disgusting racism involved in that view, as someone who attended Grad School in US, I can confidently say that Asian Immigrants are some of the brightest and hardest working students I met and I was incredibly happy at this country’s future that the student pool was so diverse and talented.
Reducing/Elliminating immigration is going to destroy American graduate programs and will boost those of other Western countries (or even Asian ones) just when we need even more of these folks. This kind of stuff is infuriating and I’m embarrassed at our politicians for even engaging in this rhetoric.
