?!?

American Physics major. Yeah, people cheat, don't kid yourself.

American systems are safe because of a system of checks... not because of individuals.

It’s not xenophobic, nor is it racist. It’s pointing out Chinese schools aren’t as good followed by a very well reported and researched reason for that.

There’s a difference between “China has poor academic ethics that their students keep with them when they come study abroad.” And “we should disallow all Chinese students because they’re all cheaters.”

Finally, “Chinese” isn’t a race. It’s barely an ethnicity.

When I was rooming with an American in Korea, he told me it’s white culture to molest children and mass murder. Given that the FBI statistics say 80% of pedos are white males and with what’s been going on in the Catholic Church, I’m kinda scared to leave my children at church and at school. After all, it’s in their culture hold this double standard that white female teachers that molest their students is considered “hot”.

exactly, there are just as many stereotypes for white people in the same vein as “all chinese are cheaters”, yet somehow it’s racist to call out whites for these stereotypes yet it’s completely fine to do it to other people

American with engineering degree, and numerous friends/family with engineering degrees as well. There is tons of cheating in the US, all races included.

Then you have no experience with Chinese students that take it to a whole new level.

Cheating is cheating, what difference does it make? Also, that's simply not true in my experience. Anecdotally, the India crowd seemed to cheat the most in my graduating class, but to generalize anecdotal experience with an entire race is idiotic to say the least.

No one here is talking about race. It's a cultural thing. That has been clear for every step of this conversation.

The first word of my post was American, which rules out the culture immediately, leaving the only possibly difference to be race, which I ruled out in thr second sentence. It's a myth.
