In fact this whole article seems to treat science as just another
industry, in which certain people are not getting a fair chance at
careers and advancement. If you want to look at it that way, the most
obvious way of improving the situation would be to improve the
teaching and learning of English around the world.

Just the kind of dismissal I would have expected from a core-
population defender of the empire.

Empire?

I'm sorry, but ... who's forcing whom to speak English?

I guess it's equally unfair that someone who grew up in rural and underpopulated Wyoming and finds it idyllic and wants to stay there, but whose inclination was for the practice of medicine and who wants to make bushels of money by doing so, is "forced" to go live in New York so he can open his practice on Park Avenue. If those imperalist New Yorkers had any sense of fairness and simple human decency, they'd move to Wyoming so he could treat them there.

But then that would
probably be seen by some as "Imperial oppression".

Sure would, without quote marks.

Good grief.
