Sauravojha, If you find UK virtually racism free or close to non-existent, chances are you will have anything but similar opinion about US. This is a country of immigrants, so on "paper" it should be more receptive of an immigrant. Personally, I can not recall any significant bitter experience apart from some minor scuffles in some bars. (That redneck was completely foul mouthed and drunk and basically started shouting at couple of friends to go back to our country. We had some minor altercations. Conclusion: We were all thrown out of the bar.) But this was one-off incident, and in places as such, can not be entirely ruled out. But everyday living is different and it is as good as ANY country in this world. Since, you said, you are a "bio nuclear lab technician" with an offer without obligation; chances are ripe that you will have as good a life as an immigrant can dream of. So, if you do not have anything significant to lose in UK, hop in the bird and welcome to the Uncle Sam's world. Just out of pure curiosity - is resident nurse and bio nuclear lab technician the same thing? Go easy on me; I am in the dark side of this profession, thus... :) For someone in UK, You keep a good tab on Yankees and Boston's eternal feud. They just love each other, don't they? : ) IndisGuise:)
