I remember that somebody did an experiment.  Mail the exact same resume to US employers, but with names from different ethnicities.  The ones with Chinese names got the worst response  :lol:

anyway, back on topic re: whether homegrown chinese students are cool

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

My hunch is that names like Tyrone and Shaniqua were not in the experiment.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

But having a job beats not having one. 

Depends on the job and available outside resources.
