<p>Ebonytear: I 100% agree with you. There's always a lot of truth to all the generalizations that put shade on white people. But all generalizations that put shade on non-white people are "stupid, wrong, and harmful". I'm just curious - why are you attacking me and not the person who said that Americans are dumb, disrespectful, and lazy (the one who started this threat). Do you think there's a lot of truth to his/her generalization?</p>
<p>And please don't feed me with all of your correlation/causation crap. There are so many "correlations" (obvously wrong ones), that your sociology professor will never tell you about becuase of the fear of losing his job.</p>
<p>Also, please note that everything that you wrote is just your "generalization". So it's your word against mine. So let's leave it there and let others decide which one of us makes more sense. </p>

<p>There was also someone talking about economic power not being a true indicator of the quality of American schools. Indeed, this may not be the best arguement. So I have another one for you: look how many Nobel prize winners come from American universities. I think Standford alone has several Nobel prize winners working there. And most of American Nobel prize winners are "true" Americans - that is they are not people who came to study to the US from abroad. I don't think I know any Nobel prize winners comming from Chineese universities (I may be wrong). </p>
<p>I also think that the US schools are #1 in the world according to the number of patents awarded.</p>
