I've talked to HR people from several companies, people I've known long enough that they don't BS me, about whether they're pressured to hire black folks or not. There answer is always something along the lines of, "Blacks from the US, Browns from India, what's the difference, they're 'persons of color' and that's all that matters, what you see when you look at group photos."

Somethin' tells me a lot of black folks are waking up to just how much the H1B scam screws them and not just the kids of well to do white folks.

Actual abilities/qualifications are meaningless in this legal environment; companies that don’t meet a certain QUOTA will be successfully sued for millions. Happened with women on Wall Street, and it will happen with blacks here - every employer will have the officially-determined number of both (even if none of either group applies).

These “preferred minority” groups are nothing more than wards of the state, and if the government won’t treat them as our equals we shouldn’t either.
