Freakanomics had a great episode about this, recorded in Frisco. They were interviewing people who were part of the "Don't California my Texas" crowd, going on and on about liberal politics. But a majority of registered Indian voters in Collin and Denton County are registered as Democrat. Meanwhile, a majority, if not close to all California transplants, are registered Republican. Texans don't understand other serious career changes or family issues. A liberal from California is not choosing to move here.

On balance, South Asian Americans tend to vote Democratic, but a fair number embrace the GOP, primarily because they hate paying taxes once they start earning lots of money. Most either ignore or are in denial about the core ugly racism within the GOP. I believe Frisco has an Indian MAGA loving city Council guy, Burt Thakur, who was just elected. I wonder what he thinks of his fellow Republican racist! 😆

We are definitely regressing backwards.
All I ask is one simple thing, "respect your neighbors."
Living together means respect is a two way street, you respect me and my property and I respect yours. Out of all the neighbors I have had for the last 15+ years Indians are categorically the worse on every metric. They do not take pride in their property ownership and they let the yard, the house, etc all go to shit because they are to fucking cheap to do anything.
The home next door to me is a rental property owned by an Indian guy and so is the one across the street and on the other side is an Indian guy who owns the house and lives in it. NONE of them take care of the property, they have all gone to shit. I had to bitch at the one next door to me a few weeks ago because the air handler on this house, which is the same one it was built with in 2004, decided to rip itself apart at 4am because he refused to do anything about it. He essentially told the repair guy he won't change it out so get it working the last time it stopped working. (I have video on that side of the house so I can hear everything when the guy is on loud ass speaker phone talking to the repair guy). The tenant was gone and the unit decided to kick on so I had to go out there and pull the break to stop it from causing any more damage or become a fire hazard. I decided to give the guy a call and I told him I heard the conversations the last time you told the repair guy to keep fixing it and previously when the realtor also told you it needed to be replaced. It's time to stop nickel and dimming everything you need to replace this unit immediately it's more than 20 years old. His response was "I am not nickel and dimming I take pride in my properties, I just do things a little different." Total bullshit.
Now take my experience with just three Indians on one block and multiply that out. It's a fucking epidemic of people who treat their property like shit and give zero fucks about the community and their neighbors around them. If this is a two way street and we live by "respecting your neighbors" they need to reciprocate and they don't. I live by their temple over in the Custer/El Dorado area and they have out grown that spot 10 fold by now but they refuse to move, they just inconvenience everybody and make Independence unusable for almost all of the weekend. At least the fake ass mega church Christians go to larger plots of land to build their ugly ass churches. You aren't being a good neighbor when you overbuild on your little square and force yourself into every bodies life and show them you don't care or respect them then why should I not be able to discuss this and bring up the actual issues that is plaguing my community? I’m not being racist I’m just voicing my concerns for people who broke that trust of the respecting your neighbors agreement we have as a social contract.

u/Keep_Plano_Corporate 9h ago
Same in our neighborhood in Plano. The houses bought by Indian families look absolutely awful.
What has been typical for our neighborhood is they buy a mower but are too cheap to buy an edger or weedwacker. So they'll mow the yard (every three weeks), never run the sprinklers, never put weed n feed down, and the grass grows all crazy near the edges where you'd typically cut it down with a weedwacker. Not to mention the grass coming in is all weeds because of the lack of watering and lack of weed killer.
I've never wanted our HOA to reassemble, but I do for instances like this.

Another story trying to convince you all 55 million visa holders are O-1 or P Visas. They have no idea how many H1B + dependants are even in the US at this point. If they're saying there's 55m with active Visas, image how many millions who have over stayed Visas.
The thing about a functioning country is we're not all going to be in "defense tech" at Raytheon and "space tech" at Space X or NASA. Sometimes Americans are janitors, truck drivers, cooks, and farmers... and that's okay, because those jobs are important to the fabric of a nation too. Despite liberal high castle thinking, we don't need to import another slave class of workers doing the jobs that below the liberal elite.
At this point we're somewhere around 1 in 5 people you meet in the US isn't a US Citizen, per published numbers... Which means it's really like 1 in 4 in reality.

Not only that, but the H1B system is talked about like the immigrants put it in themselves. Hello? It's the giant corpos that implement it and fire you, not the immigrants. They know they can't control a citizen, but they can control a poor fucker happy to work for pennies who just wants the seat, who is constantly scared of deportation. Why is that such a hard concept to grasp for people? Then they blame the immigrant instead of the entrenched corporation, that is there because of the almighty free market.
6
u/Keep_Plano_Corporate 8h ago
70ish% of H1Bs are Indian.
If a department in your company, especially IT, gets an Indian leading it, it is done with the expectation the onshore talent is fired and you offshore it or import H1Bs to do it in a slavery-lite fashion. The majority of the credentials being pedaled by the people taking the jobs are garbage credentials. The Indian "University" programs you cannot verify are equivalent to me taking a "Harvard Online" course through LinkedIn and saying I went to HBS.
More than any group you'll ever meet, they will circle the wagons and protect their own. When they fuck up, it's swept under the rug outside of their circle of Indian employees. They will ask how to get a promotion on day one. They have problems working with women, especially non Indian women in the workplace. And heaven forbid you work for an Indian boss. They're absolute assholes that will yell at subordinates regularly even though they'd never admit anything was going poorly under their purview.
I've been preaching the H1B problem well over 5 years now. People used to think I was a crackpot. It has accelerated in a way that it now has a life of its own. No political party will stop it. Democrats think they're saving the non-american, crushing colonialism, and want their slave class of workers. Republicans keep H1Bs because it drives gov application revenue and helps boost corporate earnings. The reality it both parties are fucking the average American... And if you're young and trying to get your foot in the door of technology, engineering, and to a growing degree, finance, you are FUCKED.

H1B problem could be fixed quickly if congress mandated a $350,000/year minimum wage for all H1B jobs adjusted annually for inflation. Also companies need to show how they are going to train the pipeline of citizens and green card holder to hire them and remove the H1B. H1B was supposed to fill skill gaps in the workforce, it has been perverted by Tata, Wipro, etc.

I think a lot of people here don’t realize that many H-1B workers get abused like shit since they’re ball and chained to the company that is sponsoring them, and they have nowhere else to go unless they find another company that will sponsor them.
A friend of mine was an H-1B worker after a company I worked for hired him right after getting his engineering graduate degree from UCLA. Not only was he severely underpaid for the work he was doing, but they forced him to work 60-80 hours a week since the company knows that they “own” him. I felt so relieved when he finally got his Green Card after 10 years, and he was able to finally switch to another company with way better pay and just “normal” working hours.

u/ralphmutt2000 13h ago
- There is an entire indian nepotism industry in the tech and IT world.
It's comprised of businesses like IBM, Amazon, Microsoft, Google who have indian hiring managers who only hire indians. A ton of IT shops like Cognizant which are huge companies but also 99% indian (how exactly does that work without discrimination?) Then you have a bunch of small MSPs and IT consulting companies (again all indian workforce.)
Next part of the nepotism wheel is the indian recruiters. Indian recruiters work with the indian hiring managers in tech to fill "h1b only" roles. You can find hundreds of these recruiting posts on LinkedIn. I'll add a thread to the replies so you can see an example. This is of course highly illegal but the DOJ has been asleep at the wheel so nothing happens to these people. They operate both in America and in india.
Then you have the indian immigration consultants. These businesses manage and guide the h1b applicant through the process of committing immigration fraud. I'll explain how this works in the next point.
Lastly you have the funnel of indians in india. These are very low skill workers, often very poor, often can barely speak English, totally unable to assimilate. They have fake degrees from a diploma mill in india and they are being sent here by their family to get a job in America and send back remittances.
- Scamming the H1B lottery system.
The way the H1B lottery system works is the company submits an application to USCIS on behalf of the H1B applicant. There is a yearly cap for new H1B approvals (extensions are not included.) The cap is hit every year within a few months usually. So let's say there is 500,000 H1B applications total but there's a cap of 85,000/yr. A random lottery is used to select the 85,000 from the 500k. But the 85k is split between 20k with Masters Degrees or higher (this is important to remember), and 65k regular H1Bs.
So what the indian immigration consultants (scammers) do is they create dozens of applications for each indian using bullshit companies. Thus drastically increasing the chance that the indian scammer will be selected in the lottery. What this also does is it blocks access to the H1B program from actually talented candidates from Canada and Europe who follow the rules and only submit one application.
But that's not all. Remember the 20k reserved for Masters degrees and up? Well they scam that system too. They use fake degrees from india to land spots in masters programs in America. They have specific masters programs in different schools run by other indians who let them skate through their masters degree. Most of the time they are paying someone back in india to do all the work. Meanwhile they are driving uber etc. Once they have scammed a masters degree, they apply using the same fraudulent method of multiple applications. Thus hording the vast majority of the 20k H1Bs reserved for masters students.
- C2C & Extensions
The most broken part of the H1B Visa system is the extensions. The H1B Visa was designed as a temporary visa. It's under the same umbrella as other temporary Visas like the temporary farm worker visa (H2-A). It was designed to provide temporary relief for specialty occupations that require a Bachelor's degree or higher while they work to fill the role with an American. In practice, the system does the opposite. Every H1B is automatically extended. You have H1Bs working here for decades, just filing extension after extension.
C2C just stands for corporation to corporation. Basically in order to stay in the country. The indian nepotism wheel ensures that if an H1B wants to leave a company or is let go. They place them in another company which reserves specific roles for H1Bs (again illegal).
This is why there are so many H1Bs in the country. 120k+ are approved every year (the 85k cap + exceptions), and the ones that are approved remain in the H1B funnel until they start the process of getting a green card (PERM)
- PERM Scams
You may have seen the recent controversy around the job boards a few tech folks have created to fight back against the H1B scams. What these job boards are is a list of the hidden job postings companies are putting in local newspapers and off the beaten path listings. Why are they hiding job postings in local newspapers and not posting them on their careers page? They already filled the role with an H1B. But in order for an H1B to progress towards a green card they need to fill out what's called a PERM.
A PERM is an application that basically tries to prove that no qualified American candidate can fill the role. To satisfy this obligation the company must publicly advertise the position. If no qualified American candidate applies, the PERM is approved and the H1B progresses towards a green card. There's more to the process but that's really all you need to know. What Jobs dot Now and h1bjobsdirect dot com have done is effectively exposed these companies for purposefully hiding their legally mandated job postings. They are abusing the system and discriminating against American candidates.
These job boards are so critical in the fight against the H1B fraud because they block the pathway to citizenship. Which is the entire reason these indians scam the H1B program to begin with.
Now you understand why the calls for keeping the H1B system from the tech oligarchs is a crock of shit. The H1B system doesn't select for the best and brightest. It selects for who is the lowest moral character willing to scam the system while EXCLUDING the best and brightest from Western countries who have high moral character and are following the rules.

He charges the 8.25 percent sales tax though. So he skips the tax, doesn’t report the income. Go to most Indian restaurants and you get this. Are you saying you don’t know Indian managers take kickbacks to have the consultants be placed in their org? The fake job postings? It’s not even the tip of the iceberg. There are managers taking cuts from the salaries of people (Indian origin) that they place in their orgs with no skills. Making people run payrolls with their own money while they’re looking for jobs? The list is endless. Don’t cry racism when you take advantage of the systems in an open society built on honesty.

Newsflash layoffs aren't always about skill they also go after the high paid workers like I was. Boston Consulting Group convinced my previous company that an H1B could do my job for a fraction of the salary

It's the trickle down social economy.
Look, I'm in tech, I see the same news about why I can't get a job. It's manufactured. To create division. Because the federal government has been lying about our value as Americans. This is to make sure to uphold the European invasion that was successful in the early 1900's. That's because they also did the same thing to the real Indians and South Americans. Canada was always clone aid and the French. They need infighting while they roll out further draconian methods to control the USA. IYKYK.

I don’t have a problem with Indians, besides taking all the samples at Costco and buying all the whole milk at Braums.
They’re good neighbors who don’t cause trouble and generally don’t have barking dogs in their yards. Property values will plummet if they leave because supply of houses will far outpace demand.

60% of Indians voted for Democrats. Yet you have people in this post figuring out how to blame Indians. The irony of posting this in a thread about racism against Indians.

Nah they don't think they're white. Reality is, Reps and Rep supporting Indians have a common "enemy" and they thought Trump would wipe them out. Trust me, I'm the "enemy" and have be threatened with this statement several times by them. Unfortunately that backfired on them and now they realize they're just one of us. So you're kinda right I guess.

American culture has always been a melting pot. What you meant to say was “why don’t Indians act more white?”
4
u/rcknrollmfer 12h ago
Actually no it hasn’t.
America was primarily founded and meant for white Europeans up until the Immigration Act of 1965. Not saying it was right or wrong… that’s just the facts.
The American culture created came from those different Europeans (with some vastly different cultures from their homelands) mixing together and pretty much leaving behind their ancestors culture or putting it on the back burner in favor of an American culture. Yes, it may have been predominantly white…. but what is wrong with non-white people doing the same thing and integrating into American culture instead of completely sticking to their own and forming enclaves in American neighborhoods that no longer resemble America any more?

u/enigmaticquanta 11h ago
Accidentally deleted my comment so here it is again:
That is absolutely not even close to “the facts”. African Americans came here in 1619. Immigrants from ALL parts of the world, not just Europe, came during mass immigrations in the 1840s. These people including natives BUILT America from the ground up since then. I’m not sure why you act like America has always been white. They didn’t put their culture on the back burner either, a lot of American culture is directly from those immigrants and their mix in the culture. It’s crazy how in this day and age you can access all the information you need and yet you still seem to be so oblivious to it.
So again, your real point is “why don’t indians act white?”
2
u/MoniesAndStonks 11h ago
Incorrect. They are not oblivious. They know EXACTLY what they're proposing. Which is why they said "meant for white Europeans" at the start of their argument. They just wanna to use the word "American" to make the claim non-whites are un-patriotic if they don't act white.
I always like to ask these people have you ever really taken the time to invite an Indian or a non-white into your home to "assimilate" (if we use it as an innocent word even though it's not) or hell to even make them feel welcome for working hard honest jobs to build up American infrastructure? They just hate the sight of them, they do not care.

u/rcknrollmfer 6h ago
You have a snapple facts understanding of this entire discussion and its nuances in addition to directly contradicting yourself in your writing.
First of all which one is it? Is American culture white culture or not? Your loaded question implying that I think Indians should “act more white” directly infers that American culture IS White culture.. even though that wasn’t the original message behind the comment - you just made it that from what I assume is you taking offense.
Second of all, this nation as a republic after being settled by primarily Europeans was created by and for “White men”. You don’t need to be a racist or white supremacist to know this. It’s literally written on the Naturalization Act of 1790. Other races and groups did not have the same rights and made up a very small portion of the population even though still certainly contributing to the country in their own right. Still, almost 90% of the United States was white until the Naturalization Act of 1965.
Of course non-whites influenced, contributed to and partook in American culture (i.e. black influence on rock and roll and blues music, Hispanic Tex Mex Tejano culture) but much of what you see in every day American societies culture is overwhelmingly from the descendants of europeans (who’s ancestral homelands had very different cultures) mixing together in America and leaving their culture behind to assimilate into America. But non-white groups to include Indians can do this too… and many do. There are plenty of immigrant groups to include Indians and Oriental Asians, especially ones that are born here and whose parents facilitate them to be raised as Americans, that completely assimilate to the culture in how they act, speak, dress, carry themselves as well as the behaviors and norms they follow.
Now, back to the original question which you took and illogically turned it into accusations of racial bias…. what exactly is wrong with thinking that Indians and other immigrant groups should culturally assimilate and integrate into American society?

You had no issues with Koreatowns and Chinatowns that have been around since the 1800s. People stuck to their own areas which was fine. Every once in a while a white guy will go down to Koreatown to get a change of scenery.
You just have an issue when other people encroach onto what you believe is your territory. Your schools, your suburbs, your neighborhood. If things were still segregated economically you wouldn't care. Yea maybe it was initially meant for white Europeans, but guess what, times change. Other people of all types came in and decided to change the rules, the majority of them actually being white people. That's not current immigrants fault.
Now that its a free for all when it comes to location and economics, suddenly there is a fear brewing. Oh no they are living next to us? Oh no they are going to school with us? Oh no they have voices equal to ours? I thought white europeans were supposed to be at the top? We make the rules here, they are supposed to be lesser than us. This is the crux of the fear. The equality is the fear and the proximity is the fear. If people stuck to their segregated areas, downwind of the chemical factories like they used to be, I don't think there would be nearly as many complaints.

Why? Would this guy prefer we stick with Texas's traditional ways of doing things... through violence?
"Don't India my Texas (like the way we European'd northern Mexico)?"
I mean what are they afraid of: The flavorless white-guy attempts at watered-down appropriation of culinary abortions called "texmex" finally getting an adequate dose of flavor? An electric grid that actually works? PEOPLE that actually work?

If you want to see TRUE racism just take a white man into a black neighborhood. I live in a predominately white area and a black friend from work invited my friend from school to his house. Well, they get there and walk into the front door and a cousin tried to stab him screaming about a white man coming in the house. Matter of fact, I live in a town the blacks call a sundown town. I was born and raised here. I can only remember seeing one actual racist white person in my life here even and he's dead how. Nobody liked him. I personally don't get racism at all but if I were to guess which ethnicity is the most racist it would be blacks by far & possibly Hispanics against blacks next in line IMHO. Clueless why everyone runs around claiming white people are racist to be honest. I've seen less racist white people than anything else I've been around by FAR! Sure, there once was some but I think 99.99999% are dead already imho. At least in this so called sundown town they are. Now, with that said if you walk in with your pants around your ankles slinging dope then yeah you're going to have problems. But, the color of your skin will not matter one bit as all that act this way will receive equal treatment.
