Well, its not bias but it seems in the US, things are so bad that if all foreign students stop working, then some paths of research & design will come to a standstill. I don't think that's healthy. There should be an equal interest in both the directions. Humanities and the Social Sciences are very important too. I believe that the father of science or arts subjects is philosophy. From Socrates' time, people have been searching for that elusive real truth which now has only apriori existence. All subjects will combine at the end and we'll know everything.
At present, Chinese students are outgunning everyone in STEM and Indian students too.
Don't believe everything that you hear. Just google STEM and read the facts.
