    Penn Law Professor probably shouldn't be commenting on the College of Medicine I'm assuming.

    Just to get it out of the way. The Republic of India does have a heinous caste system and since I'm not very strong when it comes to relativism I feel comfortable in stating that. They have a huge corruption and sexual crimes problem as well. I do appreciate the fact they managed to harness a diverse billion plus population of largely impoverished and extremely diverse peoples into the World Largest Democracy and somehow are making it function and actually having metrics for improvement and advancement as well as the fact they have made incredible strides in technology and medicine and education and the like and certainly wouldn't use the Trump term of "shithole" to smear (no pun intended) the whole group of people or their nation but the behavior of some Indians abroad is pretty questionable and the ingratitude strong.

    I do agree that there is a lot of ingratitude when it comes to Foreign Students coming to America for education and then also being full of loathing of their host country, or the one they actually want to emigrate to and such behavior is spiteful. But I also feel that's due in large part due to the very fact that American Universities indoctrinate their students in becoming Anti-American. And it's something that's obviously spreading downward from the University level and isn't just solely affected foreign students.

    Plus anti-Americanism, for a wide variety of reasons with varying degrees of validity, is spread about the world already so it's already baked into many people.

    Conversely, you should be allowed to criticize and push for reform in your host country if you emigrated there. Just because you come from a crappy country shouldn't prevent you from working to make your new homeland better. That's basically and patently obvious.

    Plus in regards to her specific comments, I doubt that all of those "brown faces" in UPenn's College of Medicine or whatever are all from South Asia. Some if not many are likely US-born or raised and probably victims of the social indoctrination that is gripping our education system.
