I've posted this in comments a few times, may deserve its own thread:

I have a friend that is a project leader at a very prominent engineering firm. They run internships and used to take applicants from Harvard, MIT, and more local state schools. Over the past decade or so they have completely dropped the Harvard & MIT students. He said they're useless. Even in these STEM fields they don't teach the students how to do actual engineering. Instead, the students started coming in and demanding to do projects on "racism in engineering" and garbage like that. They refused to do the projects that they were brought in to do, and whatever basic engineering tasks they were assigned to do, they fucked up. We're talking extremely basic stuff here. Everyone got tired of hearing about 'patriarchy' and 'race theory', so they took all the internship slots and started giving them to the state school kids that probably come from working-class backgrounds. Those kids actually had work-ethic and knew what they should.

That's frightening, we need extremely competent engineers, not woke morons.

These young people actually justify H1Bs...would rather hire a liability(political correctness destroys companies) or a foreigner who does not have any of this horse manure...

Indians are based, but also extremely nationalist and tribal. They're not even pro-indian, they actively work to discriminate against other regions of India in favor of bringing in more H1-Bs by their own. Indians make great friends as a different nation, but as a group to import fuck no.

Yep. It’s a huge worry.

Academia also brings in tons of Chinese, trains them, then they go home and work for the Chinese government.

So we are having brain drain AND training our opponents. Urgh

Have you worked with Chinese grand students? These are their best and brightest and they're fucking worthless. Commies don't hire the best for the job, the hire the local party chariman's idiot son.

This is why they created CRT, Critical Race Theory.

To accelerate the decline of the ability to think.
