A thing about my last semster

Interestingly, out of the five courses that i took, three were taught by Indian (south Asian) professors, one Chinese and only one American borned prof. It is kind of weired going to an American university, paying tution in dollars and feeling like I am essentially getting and Indian education. (fyi, the dean of our management school is also an Indian). anyhow, I am not complaining at all, all my professors irrespective of their nationalities are pretty skilled at the job they do. I just wanted to point out the state of the affairs in a globalized society these days.
In Indian or any developing nation's perspective, this is another instance of brain drain from developing world to the developed. In American perspective, this exemplifies the severe shortage of talent to educates its own young ones and a lack of interest in teaching by a lot of educated Americans . As a result, shortage of qualified teachers exist even in the primary school systems in U.S.A - which is of course not a good thing for America's future....
