indicates how hostility has been growing nationwide towards Chinese
students, and to the Chinese diaspora in general. However, in the
case of MIT, the question is whether the source of that hostility is
Americans or other Chinese students.
What makes you think the hostility actually exists?
Reif toes the progressive political line, and his periodic missives to us alum show that. Of course, a lot of us alum, especially those of us that actually donate to MIT, are conservatives, and some of us respond to Reif's idiotic emails accordingly.
What Reif is doing here is trying to fan fears of hostility among us alum, especially those with Chinese ties, and then try to use it to gain support for the open borders part of the progressive agenda. There's no other real connection between the two issues.
