> I can say without a doubt in my mind that there is enormous cronyism and nepotism going on in the US.
And do you have any evidence that is more than anecdotal?
FWIW (not much) I am finishing up a CS PhD, and there are many Indian students in our grad department, and many Chinese in undergrad. Haven't seen much favoritism towards these groups at either grad or undergrad (by my observations TAing) over the 5 years I've been here.
It's crazy to me that not only you think there is epidemic cronyism, but that you also have "no doubt" about your beliefs...
