I'm amazed in walking the halls of major corporations and seeing a MAJORITY Indian workforce. I the only Latinos I saw were vacuuming the carpets or mopping the rest rooms. What about Anglo Americans? Most us us were reluctantly hired to un-*uck things that don't work. The obvious truth here is that the H1-B visa system has been corrupted by Indian labor brokers. A system fed by this corruption creates a culture of "a good lie will fix anything". Falsified test results look pretty in charts and graphs up until the point that the system crashes and/or loses data. There no diversity in the halls of much of corporate America, only a Hindi-speaking homogeneity.

The Latinos I come into contact with are working remotely for peanuts from their home country (Mexico and Bolivia). They are treated as inferior are not included in team functions and meetings in spite of having superior knowledge and motivation. I have to take initiative to interact with them. Management somewhat frowns on this direct contact without going through the offshore manager, especially when the US-based managers don't speak Spanish and can't micromanage the informal meetings.

Is that "come play at my casino" Indian, or is it "that weell be $1.75 for the Slurpee" Indian?



Yes, I didn't read the OP. On purpose.

I can attest to this. At least in IT, where Russ works, there are a lot of Indians, 1 black, and no Latinos.

(Btw, hjmick I’ve heard it as, is he a Dot Indian or a Feather Indian? But we can always ask Joe Biden).
