"shall i shine your shoes sahib? "

you can make your point without being an outright racist as you evidently are.

I understand you are frustrated being replaced by people whom you view as unqualified scum , so you got your cheap shot by posting racist videos on youtube.

How does it feel to be out on your ass without a job buddy :) ? having fun? How are those welfare cheques? Covering your healthcare expenses?

No one in this video lost a job. Sorry. And sorry you missed the point about Indians with a slave's mentality who work for less money than IT people in the West. The subservient Raj mentality dies hard, huh?

Think that's racist? How about those pathetic call center drones named "Bob" or "Mike" who obviously struggle to speak English? That, indieuser1, is evidence of people with a slave's mindset, willing to humiliate themselves for pay.

"Racism" is a lazy response to an unpleasant truth.

All sensible economists know that things like H1B are good for developed nations. They don't hurt workers or any of that other nonsense Lou Dobbs would have you believe. In fact, as a recent Bill Gates quote reveals, oftentimes there are multiple new jobs created just to help a new H1B worker, including training. Management doesn't just fire skilled workers to replace them with cheap skilled labor from India.

[TIOC1]

The fact you cite Bill Gates shows us all how uninformed you are on this issue. Anyone in the IT business who reads your posts is laughing at you.

Bill Gates is regarded by many in the IT world as a predator--and he's done nothing to preserve jobs in the U.S.

Ordinarily I'd recommend you read some of the articles by Norm Matloff or Ron Hira, but someone with your breathtaking ignorance of this issue is beyond enlightenment.

This is just protectionist bullshit. H-1B visas are necessary, and anyone who tells you it's a sham is lying. Luddite assholes. Jobs are not a zero-sum game! Just b/c one additional person gets a job does not mean there's 1 less job in the economy. Every economist, including Paul Krugman, will tell you that. Free trade is good for nations, overall. The fact is, nations like China and India produce far more grads in fields like engineering than the U.S. Deal with it. Don't whine.

[TIOC1]

Your vocabulary is on a par with your knowledge level. Clearly you know nothing about the H1B visa scams, the law firms cashing in, the companies which evade the rules and the damage this is causing to America's economy.

You must be one of the bottom-feeders cashing in on the H1B scams--or you are a stooge for them. Either way, your post shows you for what you are.

Hey America, our little experiment in International Socialism didn't quite work out as planned, did it? The millions of THIRD WORLD workers we let in in the past 10 years didn't quite perform as advertised, did they? Not quite the economy we were expecting, is it?

Now you know the truth about turd world workers from India, China, Mexico: they are here because of our wealth. They are raping and siphoning our economy and sending our wealth back home.

Now the truth has finally come out.

@TIOC1 More and less are relative terms, really. Brown Indians work for less money can be rephrased as White Americans work for MORE money without altering the meaning. The industry is there to maximize its profit and would therefore, by all means, try to minimize labour cost. It's a perfectly fair game!

[MrAppleseed88]

this is code word for we need to flood the labor market with 3rd world scum so no one can earn more then a slaves wage and max out profits for the evil capitalist pigs.

This is stupid. It's incredibly hard to find good programmers in the US. There IS a labor shortage: if you're actually good, just go down to Google and they'll pay you six figures.

@indieuser1 I am Indian and I am not offended... H1B is a serious problem...

[ProjectRedPill1]

Hilarious... but oh so true. About 25 years ago I started a government job in Canada. Soon after, the employees were asked at a meeting how they felt about the employer meeting a quota for hiring visible minorities. Many who were already brainwashed to keep their mouths shut, lest they be called a racist, were agreeable to the initiative, even though it was obviously reverse-racism. The plan to turn the Americas into a banana republic has been in the works a long time.

@whoo689 Two previous clients have called me back to orchestrate a repatriation of positions and services we previously outsourced. You see rather than do a little outsourcing and see how things function post transition the executives from some companies go full steam ahead with the idea that a little outsourcing saves money and allot saves allot of money. They get large short term cost reductions then get a big fat bonus and move on to destroy another company.

[Reverendjim1]

@whoo689 I find it hard to believe anyone could believe what you said. I am sorry to say that I have on three occasions been brought in by companies to work on outsourcing strategies that involve training of outsourced workers with the Ultimate displacement of those workers who conduct the training. It is in the plan! Yes! We even discuss how to prevent "talent" from leaving before critical knowledge is transfered.

@indieuser1 Shutup you fag product of American jewish BS with your calls of "Racism" at every avenue you happen across. The downfall of US quality is directly related to cheap products from China and poor quality services and buggy software from India. Now go shine shoes; koelie!

[samuski36]

@indieuser1 Hey, I'm one of those "replaced" American workers! I'm literally one step away from being homeless! I am very intelligent, capable, strong, and white, and have been unemployed for 3 years now because my job was shipped to India! I'm not having fun, I'm broke and angry! No welfare, no unemployment, and no opportunities! Oh yeah, no health coverage either! This video is not racist, its called satire! Learn the difference!
