The U.S. State Department is sponsoring a seven-city comedy tour in India titled "Make Chai, Not War" at a cost of approximately $188,000. The tour features Indian-American comedians intended to promote religious tolerance. However, excerpts from the performances include anti-British and anti-Western sentiments, leading to questions about the efficacy and intent of using taxpayer money for such cultural exchange programs.
Hundreds of international students on a State Department exchange program walked out of their jobs at a Hershey's chocolate plant in Pennsylvania, citing exploitative conditions. The students complained about eight-hour night shifts and the physical requirement of lifting heavy boxes. The hosts mock the students' grievances, contrasting them with the expectations of previous generations regarding entry-level manual labor.
