I agree the tone is too angry; sorry. In almost all cases I'd agree about such emphasis on a headline - but I think this is an exception. Many people don't read or think past a major publication's very influential headlines (ironic, I know, but certainly many HN and WSJ users read even less than I did).
Foreign Students Seen Cheating More Than Domestic Ones
If they substituted other groups for Foreign, such as certain religions or races, then my response would be broadly supported no matter how the WSJ qualified it in the body. To tar the character of all those students because of their foreign origins is, I still believe, inflammatory, xenophobic, and atrocious.
Anyway, I don't mean to re-litigate the substance of it; I only want to point out that I think this is an exceptional case. Have a great day.
