Not everyone in India wants to come to the US. Less racism please, and more staying on topic, shrugging doesn't make something ugly and ignorant any less so. This level of ignorance and arrogance should be left to the Stephen Millers of the world, it does not belong anywhere intelligent people with any claims of being liberal, progressive or Democratic congregate.

Does anyone actually possess the hubris to think that everyone desperately wants to come to the states simply because they are ignorant enough to think that the British film Slumdog Millionaire is a documentary?

Or did you actually think that snake charmers and rickshaw drivers were flocking to the U.S.? And given the attention that India has paid to education, a pretty hefty number of people are doctors, scientists and engineers. Travel more, learn things, open that mind, correct the bias.
