Indians in the tech industry are playing a game with immigration.

That culture has no issue with cheating to achieve an end result.

Tell me about it. Even 20 years ago when I was still working as a project manager in Detroit we learned to steer clear of Indian firms as subcontractors.

During that time I worked closely with an automotive engineer who grew up in India, but was really Portuguese. (His home was in Goa, which was once a Portuguese colony.) He gave me some real insights into the mindset of South Asians, one of which was that they still want revenge against Anglos for the Raj, just as the Irish still want revenge for Cromwell.

Another is that the outdated European practice of primogeniture is still the rule there, so the first son gets the best education and inherits everything, while the second and third sons get an inferior education and emigrate.

Consequently we in America tend to see second-raters with a chip on their shoulder.

A Japanese company put an ad in the paper looking for translators. Applicants were given a clipboard with Japanese writing and told to translate it into English. Once complete they were told “We’ll call you”. Never happened. All those free translations cost them was the ad.

It’s no wonder capitalism gets a bad wrap. Throw in Steinbeck when he wrote Grapes of Wrath. He hated the doctor in The Pearl.
