India’s engineers have thrived in Silicon Valley. So has its caste system.

I've never seen any evidence of this - although I've heard of some intra-subcontinental rudeness.

and why are blacks and latinos “underepresented”?

Perhaps because the sciences require hard work and study for years, discipline, and most do not want to put forth the effort

i know the blacks consider getting good grades in school as “acting white”

The Dalits think that they have it bad but they should try being a white male in the US tech industry.

Right....

Throw all the Indian H1B scum out of the US. Most racist (and castist) people on the planet. Followed closely by Communist Chinese

Wonder what caste the filthy Ho Kummonus Herass is from? Wonder if she told Willie?

I guess either you are a shill for the Indian tech industry or just plain ignorant. Since you are on FR, I’m guessing it’s the first choice.

I actually work in the tech industry, which I am guessing you don’t. But what exactly did I say that would make you think I’m a shill for the “Indian tech industry?” (I don’t know exactly what this means)

“I think that’s a gross exaggeration.“

Do you work in IT nickcarraway? Because I have for 25 years and in my group of 16 members, here in America at a fortune 500 company, 14 are from India. That does not happen without. lot of discrimination and we are talking 6 figure salaries.

Alright Nick, what exactly do you do in the tech industry and why do you not think that Americans are not being pushed out? Convince me.

I work in Silicon Valley high tech. I didn't say there weren't some problems, just that you exaggerated. There are plenty of white males who are doing just fine.

I also wouldn't call the IT department of a no-tech Fortune 500 company part of the "U.S. tech industry." You didn't specify this industry. But I believe you, that your organization has a problem.

There are plenty of Indians who are employed in top tech companies, but there are also a substantial group of Indians who won't get anywhere close to that.

Once I was working with a startup and the (female) India CEO told the recruiters something along the lines of, "We can't hire anymore Indians, we are too Indian."

There are a lot of problems out there, but the same problem isn't everywhere.

You must live in the basement of your mother’s house because you certainly are not in the STEM industries. You might want to observe a little more in and out of your work environment.

It may be a disproportionate struggle, but no Black is worse off for “acting white” regarding common sense academics.

And it’s the Rats the promote the anti-White BS.

I work in recruiting.

Do you mean Americans, or do you mean white people?

Also, I don't think we have the same definition of tech industry. If you mean by that IT departments of non-tech companies, that's not the same definition I have of "tech industry." I mean actual high-tech companies, whether they are big ones like FANG companies, or startups or mid-level.

In companies like that, I don't think people are being, "pushed out." But I will say this, the majority of people getting Masters and PhDs in the U.S. are foreign-born. Now part of it may be that schools like foreign-born students because they pay a higher rate. But that's not all of it. Unfortunately, not enough native born students are going into Computer Science. But ones who do, and succeed, will get prim employment, whether they are white or not. And the majority of Indian engineers won't make the cut at Google, Facebook, etc. or many of the startups.

But after reading your response, I don't think that's what you are talking about anymore. You mean IT departments out across the country. That's a completely different thing than what I am talking about. I can't speak to that as much. But I would advise there are things you can do to protect your jobs proactively.

Nick, you are outnumbered by H-1B foreign workers in Silicon Valley and yet you deny the obvious. I remember once back in 2007 I was making a pre-sales call to Apple in Cupertino and I was suffering an attack of redeye so I rolled off the 880 and stopped at a large grocery store to buy Visine and could not find one employee who was willing to speak English, all Asians and Indian. I have visited ongoing implementation projects at major insurance companies and banks in the LA metro area and seen with my own damned eyes floors staffed with nothing but hundreds of Indians working on the project. I did a year-long sales/consulting stint at Microsoft in Redmond and Issaquah in 2005 where I had MS directors and VP’s tell me how great H1B visa workers were for the bottom line and I told them one day they’d be laughing out of the other side of their mouth. Now they all work for a CEO who is a former H-1B employee.

You lie like a dog.

Kamala Harris is half Brahmin.
You can’t be Joe Biden’s running mate without a slight Indian accent.

”I work in recruiting.”

What a surprise. You work in tech recruiting and you feel the need to defend in-sourcing of H-1B indentured servants over American graduates.

Hang you head in shame. Try to at least have the decency to profit quietly off of the selling out Americans and do not add insult to injury by attempting to justify it.

I'm not refuting what you're saying, but let's look at the optics, from an outsider's point of view. Whenever you see photos of tech lords such as Zuck or Dorsey addressing their employees in a large group, all you see is a sea of Indians.

The smell of B.O. at those meetings must be staggering.

When I say Americans I mean white, black, yellow, and brown, anyone who is a citizen. Large corporations are freezing out Americans wherever they can because H-1B indentured servants are locked in at a job until they finally get their green card. Meanwhile Americans do not get those jobs because they are not willing to live 4!to an apartment. When these foreign born workers finally do get their green cards they’ve been abuse so badly they form cartel like groups and try to freeze Americans out..
