Not sure what "american undergrads" means? If someone graduates from an American university wouldn't that make them an American undergrad? Or do you just mean someone who was born in the US that then graduated from an American university? Also how can you tell where someone was born just by looking at them, especially in the US?

its a really straightforward phrase, why are you arguing semantics?

Because international students are less than 3% of undergraduate enrollment. [1]

So people are trying to understand what do you intend to really say when you say you don’t see American undergraduates anymore and that it’s all internationals.

yeah and i stand by what i said, big tech isnt hiring undergrads with american degress, or american undergrads. whichever you want to spin it

No one is spinning anything except you. Claiming undergrads are only non Americans these days, which was easily disproven with sources. Now you’re claiming no one is hiring American undergraduates which again can be disproven by looking at actual data. Recent grad unemployment remains pretty low.
