1% of the US is Iranian?

[tower9]

Author claims that more than 1% of the US is now of Iranian descent because of Iran's over-education problem. Namely, Iran has prioritized education but because of the political situation, there are not enough opportunities at home so most of these over-educated people go abroad, many to the US.

I wasn’t making any comparisons. Just thought this article was interesting.

However interest in immigrating to the US has slowed considerably in China since the past few years. Mainly because China has developed very fast and because of political tensions, safety issues living in the US.

Are you saying there are no Greek immigrants in the US or you want to say you are a unique Greek?

Yes. With China surpassing US economically, I foresee reverse immigration back to China in the coming years.

No, im saying that USA is a country that offers nothing i want. It has zero security, has no culture. The EU has higher living standards. Why would i move to a country that cant offer me what i have in Greece?

Of course there are greek migrants in USA. But in last decades USA lost almost all attractiveness.

Most Chinese students already go back to China or have plans to go back. The last 5 years especially have been very impactful. Since the Trump administration, political tensions between the US and China have become very hostile. Racism against Asians have exploded. Since the pandemic, law and order has basically collapsed in many of America's large cities. The quality of life has gone down significantly.

Of course, in certain areas like the tech industry, the US is still a great place to land a job as the pay is very high and there is a lot of money here. But the divide between the rich and poor is becoming very stark. Even if you are rich and you live in a nicer area like a beautiful suburb or a semi-rural area, life is very boring and quite meaningless. There is nothing like the deep culture and history you will find in Europe or Asia.

On the other hand, in the past ten years, the quality of life in China has improved rapidly. Public transportation is the best in the world. All large cities have massive metro systems linked by the world's greatest high speed rail systems. Social benefits have improved markedly, you have free healthcare, very cheap education and all kinds of social services available. And even though there is some curbing now, the economy has been very vibrant and is producing more wealth than any other place in the world. 20 years ago, China's cities were third world in comparison to the US, now most of their cities are better than American cities and you don't have to constantly look over your corner wondering if someone is about to rob you or kill you over some stupid shit.

Chinese are miniscule portion of population in the US and 75% of H-1B visas are going to Indians. Not South Asians... just Indians. Soon Indians will overtake Mexicans as the top minority in the US.

Congratulations. You already overtook Chinese Canadians in 2006, so why not make North America Hindu Again. NAHA!

Most Iranis are in California.

Chinese have been Emigrating to the US even before the Europeans. Indian H1B population is very small in comparison and they have to return back to India after few years as it is not a permanent visa.

It's from "thesaker" so of course it's nonsensical.

Makes more sense than the typical msm Atlanticist propaganda that’s been wrong about everything for 25 years.

Iranians are also the most educated and successful immigrant groups in the US or in most countries. Southern California is home to close to a million people of Persian/Iranian heritage. It had a large community even before the revolution as the well known Iranian designers in Beverly Hills, like Bijan attest to.

Maybe but Naturalizations have been going up as China has developed (except a dip by everybody last year due to Covid).
