Strange he didn't see the irony of "insult" when referring to Asia as a monolith

Many people forget that Saudi Arabia (fifth biggest by land) is in Asia too.
I think you guys are missing the joke. The users experience is with the U.S. health system. Because the stereotype and the parent comments have the implication that doctors from Asia are seen as inferior; the joke being that the U.S. sets a fucking low standard for quality of care.

That's not at all what I said and is exactly the opposite.

Yeah because I'm explaining someone else's joke to you. Like it or not some of the comments here are perpetuating that stereotype. It's also a disservice and naive for one to claim that the there isn't that stereotype.
This is indeed exactly what I was trying to say, thank you :)))
