Most of my computer science classes right here in the good ol' U.S. of A are half-filled with asian or asian-american students. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation. I don't know if, as a culture, that reflects their work ethic or just a natural affinity to math and science. Geez, I hate to generalize like that, but it is rather consistent and overwhelming.
And as far as slave wages in foreign countries, it's all relative. What we consider a slave wage may be a living wage over there. And on another point, I understand the "trickle down theory" and how it behooves us, as a society, to allow the rich to get richer as we all benefit from it ... blah, blah, blah ... but it seems like countries with little to no middle class where the rich are very rich and the poor very poor (i.e. middle eastern countries) are none too stable. Just sayin'.
