In Glenn Beck's latest bigoted rant he accuses Indian schools of not turning out decent doctors and ignores the fact that the country has a burgeoning middle class. (Didn't he watch "Slumdog Millionaire"?)
Beck's argument is not based on any form of logic. India has some of the best schools in the world and that is the reason why Indian graduates are sought out across the globe. A large chunk of the brain power in American graduate schools is Indian, and Indians play a significant role in the medical field in both the United States and Britain.
Beck also says that he does not want "discounted wages" in the United States, but then goes on to attack unions, who fight to give American workers a living wage! Plus, Beck's alleged party, the GOP, are in favor of shipping American jobs abroad and driving down wages here. To paraphrase Ice-T's comment on pimping, trying to find logic in Beck's show is like trying to explain astrophysics to a wino.
I guess Beck seems to be intent on having all non-white Americans hate him, which is really smart, since the country is becoming browner by the minute. But, I guess, he knows his audience ...
