    No, you did. I made no mention of Asians in the USA. I said Asians living as minorities in OTHER advanced democracies on average feel no particular attraction to the USA. Clear?

    Sure. I guess one English speaking, White country is as good as another.

    What are you talking about?
    I get the impression that you are the one with comprehension issues.

    Your request that I support a claim I did not make.
    I scored 170/170 on the GRE verbal. You did not.

    Proving the claim of some unique US appeal to minorities is incorrect. And FYI, most of the European countries where East Asian minorities feel no particular attraction to the USA are not English speaking (though English is of course widely spoken in many of them).

    You make a claim that immigrants prefer not to go to the US because it’s too “anti-intellectual”. I pointed out that it’s wrong - immigrants like the highest possible compensation for labor, which the US is pretty much on the top. I know that because I, myself, am an immigrant and socialize with other immigrants.
    Then you make claims about statistics.
    I asked for a link to a statistical study and then you claim I have reading comprehension issues.
    I think you are the one having issues, as in standing by your own statements and substantiating them with real data or logic. You made a ridiculous blanked statement about an entire demographic and do not seem to be able to back up your position without snarky responses.

    PS: your scores are great! In how many languages can you freely speak, write and read? I can do 3. How about you?

    @bringiton
    Immigrants don’t view America as anti-intellectual. Most of them embrace real “American dream” - they want to live where they are well compensated for their labor and the compensation is enough to afford a place to live + food + clothing + a little extra for fun. They don’t support free sh!t, like many progressives think. They want to work hard and be rewarded fairly for their effort.
    That’s all there is to it.
    So, considering that there are very few countries out there that pay more in hourly wages than the US, your claim that immigrants prefer to skip the US as too “anti-intellectual” is not grounded in our realities of life.

    No I don't.
    No it isn't.
    I did not say anything about immigrants to the USA.
    Which you do.
    I did not make the statements you are asking me to substantiate.
    Now if only you could figure out what that statement was....
    Good for you. I'm working on one.

    Seems the OP is upset that they didn’t say whites are superior at everything.

    I was addressing the fact that stereotyping gets out of hand and it's easy to project bias. I guess I'm fine with it if other groups don't mind smelling like a dirty wet sock or a heated up bag of garbage.
    I know there is truth to different "scents", but it's also complicated.

    It was a tongue in cheek comment. I was referring to bias and stereotyping right here on planet earth.

    Scent is a huge part of physiology.
    I was born in Ukraine and to me, the smell of a woman from eastern Slavic countries gives me an amazingly stimulating rush. That smell is awesome. The smells of women of same race, but different ethnic groups smells foreign. Some further out groups can smell borderline gross.
    If you read up on speciation, you’d see that for some animals, about 30 generations is enough to start splitting into separate species. Most ethnicities were separated for much longer, which means that there must be at least strong breeding preferences inside these groups. I think this also explain startlingly high number of people who struggle to find a mate in immigrant countries like the US and Canada - they need to do a DNA investigation of their ethnic roots and try to establish contact with mates with similar ethnic background to get a better chance of establishing a successful long term relationship.
    PS, back to scents - I realize that just like some further out ethnicities smell borderline gross to me, I smell borderline gross to them.
