Japan is like if you combined 1950s white America with one of Ted's nightmares :a-guy:

      It's very depressing

      There are absurd amounts of Indians coming here for undergraduate only to fail to find any good job after graduating and having to work a minimum wage life of retail, fast food, Uber, and Doordash while being saddled with dozens of thousands of student debt

      Also, I'm not exaggerating when I say literally more than 50% of the Ubers I've ridden in were driven by said Indian international students or adult immigrants who used to be engineers, doctors, nurses, accountants, etc. from all over Asia (Middle East, South, South East) who can't find any job because Canada is infamous for not recognizing foreign certifications/education/credentials

        It's disgusting how ready people are to exploit their vulnerability too. Colleges and universities make most of their money by tricking promising international families a degree for only triple the amount they charge domestically and there's a cottage industry of slum lords and business tyrants ready to prey on the students because they don't speak english and don't know their rights. There was a house in a suburb of Toronto where they found 25 students living!
