Okay - this is just a DUMB and quite frankly racist statement (for once the race card SHOULD be played.) I’ve worked with HUNDREDS of Indian folks over the last 30 years in the computer design field. Some of the brightest folks I’ve ever met are Indian.

I’ve know some duds too - just like I’ve known American born duds.

I can safely say one of my two top bosses was an Indian, who is still a very good friend today. He is also VERY well known in my field having written some of the first text-books within a particular area.

Further, some of the most innovative companies in Silicon Valley have been started by people from India who have been trained both here and there, i.e. undergrad in India, graduate work here.

One good example is Magma - it’s number 3 in the EDA business, and has continually had more innovative products when compared to the number 1 and number 2 competitors.

Does this justify my position adequately???

Thanks, Steve, from a Freeper of Indian heritage (born here).

No, it is not a racist statement but yours most certainly is.

And yes you are playing the race card in exactly the same manner that it’s always played.

Unless I missed something, freedumb2003 said nothing whatsoever about race. He doesn’t like Indian tech workers, check. He doesn’t want more Indian immigration, check. He thinks that Indian H1B tech workers are not good employees, check.

None of that has anything at all to do with race.

No.

For every EDA, there's a Sun. (Sputter, sputter).

And for every "IQ of 300" Indian, there's a couple of Americans of equal talent who were edged aside; or went into another field.

Cheers!

Same here, but in semiconductors.

Liberals have discovered the Hindus to be much smarter than they thought and aren't the politically correct lapdogs they had them pegged for, now they want to get rid of them...
