The gratitude should run both ways. America is a welcoming society No doubt.
but they do have a shortage of young people interested in the sciences. For almost a decade now, smart American kids have been moving into finance, derivatives, Wall Street etc etc. they would really have a problem if smart asian kids including Chinese, Indian korean etc did not step in. A very large number of PhDs are actually going to asian kids nowadays.
There you go again! ask those very kids and they'll tell you they are Americans. But look at the numbers too. 1) In relation to their population, Indians and Chinese are disproportionately higher in Phds, yes; But a large number of those with Phds that actually matter are locally born; yes I am making the assertion that a LARGE proportion of foreign born students who come to the US to get their Phds get totally inconsequential doctorates that represent neither scientific inquiry nor engineer prowess. There are gems ofcourse but the majority are useless from a science point of view. They end up in lifelong post doctoral assistanships. 2) White Americans of European and Jewish descent still are brutal majority of science, economics, commerce - by sheer numbers. 3) The Black and Latino communities are the ones that are very under represented in accomplishments - for different reasons.
I'd also ask you look at the degree of accomplishment of the 2nd generation and 3rd generation of immigrants from India and China. Assimilation effects sweep right in
