If you have the grades and you pass the courses required you are in.

Again---do your own research, will you?

They did catch it after the H1-Bs came to the country to work in 7-Elevens. I'm not going to give you any more links. As I said before, everything I've mentioned about the H1-B visa program can be backed up with research.

Nope. Many have the grades and high MCAT scores, yet they don't get into med schools. The competition is intense. Why do you think so many Americans and Canadians end up going to med schools in the Caribbean?

Surely you also know that there is more that goes into consideration. Potential students have to provide recommendation letters from their peers as well as some of their undergraduate instructors. If the potential student has volunteered working in ongoing research projects, that is taken into consideration, too.

i'm done explaining things to you. You refuse to do your own research. Why won't you do any research? You've yet to answer at least that question.

Nope. Not always true. If you factor in all the fees companies have to pay to sponsor H1-Bs, they may be paid the same salary as Americans but factoring in the fees, it comes out to more money. Plus, when Americans are forced to train their H1-B replacements, those replacements will be making less money than the experienced Americans who get laid off.

I think you are either so totally prejudiced or just have some deeply wrong information that defy logic. Companies are not in business for charity. If they are willing to bear the extra cost as you claim it is because they find the Indian employees productivity worth it. Not because American workers are any less productive, there simply are not enough of them.

So don't try to tell us that there was only one black community in this country and that white people burned it down because they didn't like black people.

And back then there was no movie industry, no music industry, and no professional sports teams to recruit black players for outrageous sums of money. Despite that and racism, black communities everywhere prospered through hard work and did as well economically as white communities. You need to give black people more credit.
Oh wow,someone that does not read history books.

The 1920 Red Summer never happened?

You know the goverment had a law,"Separate but equal" right?
You do know black people had a very high poverty rate,higher than it is now,pre 1970s right?

If Black people so called "prospered" as you say they did,then what was the reason for all of the marches in the 1960s?

They do self segregate. And i say there is nothing wrong with that, They are able to keep Indian dollars in the Indian American community. Which is a good thing.

Now can AA do that? No,because then they would be accused of racism.

Not just not read any book, but deny history exists. Those are the great UNREAD who want critical race theory eliminated from schools. It is too uncomfortable.
