An online debate over Asian and Indian students in US universities has flared up after an American political influencer pushed back strongly against allegations of cheating in exams.
The row began after an X user claimed that Asian, especially Indian, students routinely cheated during exams at Rutgers University. The user wrote that his father, who taught computer science there for over a decade, would come home “upset and demoralized” because Asian students would “cheat en masse on exams” and then deny it even when caught. The post ended by suggesting that this showed “different philosophies of success”.
