Every H1-B outfit discriminates against non-Indians. It’s one of the many reasons to shut down that program ASAP.

Almost every large company has an Indian/Paki mafia. Not just in America. They blatantly discriminate against anyone not from the sub-continent to the point where some depts. are 100%.

It’s ridiculous.

I’m still waiting for the GOP-e and Faux News to talk to a Conservative Engineer working in Silicon Valley.

Or better yet, have them talk to the 10k Ex HP workers who were forced to train in their replacements before they were fired.

The Indians couldn’t succeed without an amazing number of white devils selling out America. The silver lining is now digital nomads can choose where they want to work from.
