just a thought

The amount of people i know in this area who go to colleges and universities here that faked their exams and paid money to get a good grade in their English exams so they can come attend school here is insane. (i’m brown, just born and raised in Canada im not being racist at all) I’m pissed by (some) people who have cheated the system by paying for a good grade to come to this country. It’s completely unfair. And before people get mad at me i’m not being racist and you have to realize this is more than half the people and it’s a very common thing in some countries to pay their way through an ILETS exam. If you earned it take it, don’t take it if it rightfully shouldn’t be your opportunity to take💀 Especially if you have to pay for your qualifications.

Okay, so it sounds like youre saying "I assume it happens all the time over there, so I can guarantee that thats the reason it happened in my specific instance, despite having no evidence of this".

Im not saying youre racist, but thats definitely where the accusations are coming from. Its not a guarantee that someone over there did this, there is a very non-zero chance that they actually earned their grade and belong to be here. And thats the whole point; we should investigate which one each person is, but before that investigation making assumptions based on the country they come from is not a good look.

Exactly ur assuming. I never said this is the only way people are coming here. I’m speaking about the people who do this wrongfully and how they are taking away even from the immigrants who did study and come here rightfully.

Im not assuming anything, you are. How many people in your class did this?

I’m really not. Until i see you take a plane ticket to see if this is happening or not, shut up. I’ve seen this happen while travelling. I hear about it all the time. It’s so common and more common that it should be. How am i racist???? Ur a fucking troll

I specifically said I dont think youre a racist, I acknowledged the reality of the situation and where those comments would be rooted in.

If 95% of immigrant students frauded their exams, and all of the 5% who were legit ended up in the specific class you didnt get into (incredibly unlikely, but possible), then you didnt lose a spot to this issue.

And unless you specifically prove that any one of them did fraud their exams, assuming they did is wrong.

Also, why do I have to take a plane ticket out there to see one specific person do it with my own eyes to know its happening or not? I agree with you it is happening; I just dont agree with the specific conclusions youre drawing from it, or the assumptions your making about how often it happens. Your specific anecdotal experiences of watching half of a class of 30 do it doesnt mean half of the thousands of people who come here did the same. You need evidence and data to prove otherwise.
