A Reddit post by an Indian professional who recently returned from the United States has reignited debate on the H1B visa system, workplace culture, and community-based favoritism in American tech firms.
The techie, who previously worked at Amazon USA, said one of the key reasons for returning to India was the “toxic behaviour” of Indian managers abroad. According to him, many Indian managers exploit employees on visas, aware of their vulnerability due to complex immigration rules.
“They avoid hiring Americans because they know they can’t push them to work 24/7. Americans won’t hesitate to sue if boundaries are crossed,” the user wrote, adding that community favoritism often shaped hiring practices.
Community favoritism in tech
The post cited examples of Telugu managers dominating Walmart’s workforce and Gujaratis preferring their own at Intel. “The only real hiring criteria seems to be, ‘Are you Telugu?’ and you’ll get the job,” he noted, even recalling classmates who secured internships through cricket matches with employees.

The post struck a chord with netizens, many of whom echoed similar frustrations.
One commenter accused earlier waves of Indian immigrants of “fake marriages and shady practices” to secure citizenship, blaming them for making life harder for newer migrants. “They made life unbelievably difficult for the current generations. And now they look down on us, even voting against our interests, while being the ones who created the bad stereotypes about Indians abroad.”

A third recalled a disturbing instance of caste-based favoritism in hiring. “My relative, a manager at a tech firm, interviewed two candidates — one American, one Indian. She openly said she hired the Indian because she was ‘our caste.’ I wanted to throw up.”

"You can contribute any combination of monthly and/or one-time contributions to reach this goal."
Or you can be like marcus, and not contribute ANYTHING but spam, rooterspimpink and blogpimping to Free Republic!
“Hey, marcus, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”
Time to donate to the Q4 2025 Freep-A-Thon! Or you can continue to freepload, like marcus.
BTW - marcus is also trying to paint Free Republic as a place for knuckle-dragging zenophobia. What's up with that?
What's with all the smearing of Indians and India?
I get that we want Americans in jobs first over Indians - but what's with the hate and garbage posts that most Freepers wouldn't do themselves?
Is some freeploading POS tryink to paint a false picture of what this board stands for?
I wonder...

Don’t you have some extend car warranties to sell, Jugdish?
President Trump is going to deport you back to India, Jugdish. Pack your bags.
AMF Indo thrives and corrupt racists.
“Hey, marcus, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort of maintaining Free Republic so's you got a place to spam and troll, you know.”
deadbeats, spammers and freeploaders,
marcus hears it from the people of FR, they call him.
They'd call him deadbeat, spammer and freeploader
But every night marcus comes around, and lays some spammin' down.
[sung to the tune of "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves"]
Durka durka! Pack your bags!
When are you going to quit your zenophobic attacks against India, trying to smear Free Republic as neanderthals?
Looks like you're part of an organized campaign to smear Free Republic.
All of your various trolling campaigns have the same object, along with you refusing to contribute to Free Republic, because your paymasters are watching with a gimlet eye.
You won’t contribute to the Freep-A-Thon because you don’t want your bosses to see your name on the donations board.
Pack your bags, Jugdish. You’re going home.
Kick in some bucks, you freeploading deadbeat.
And our 4th quarter FReepathon is now underway! Please get your donations in early if you can. Thank you very much and God bless you.

After retiring, my father taught databases at a local university. Most of his students were from India and at one point he caught the vast majority of them cheating on home assignments. They were all plagiarizing each other.
Yep. The Indian students have collaborated cheating down to a science. A total racket. And they play stupid when they get caught.
No more posting until you show Comrade Beria here your contribution card. He demands to see your papers or else he will use every rat trick in the book to try to get you BANNED.
Jugdish is going to be deported back to India soon. The H1B racket is over and you can see the panic.
Thanks for providink me a platform to promote the Freep-A-Thons and shame freeploading deadbeats like yourself.
Maybe we’ll get ‘er done quicker this way, and take some stress off Jim Robinson and the rest of the Robinsons.
