In light of past submissions regarding Asians as the “ideal immigrants,” I find this article from collegeinsurrection.com pertinent to previous discussion: Chinese students applying to U.S. colleges caught cheating. What I find striking is that about 90 percent of recommendation letters from Chinese applicants were found to be falsified.

And once they’re in college? We know that many barely speak English. How do they write college-level papers? A friend who has done Master’s-level work in psychology says she occasionally supplements her income by writing psychology papers for (mostly) Chinese students. Anecdotal–of course, but will we ever see this looked into by our “investigative” reporters in the mainstream media?
