Nepotism also runs strong in India. Nearly 85% of the country’s businesses are family-run, and Bollywood is dominated by just a few families. Even job-seekers with impressive resumes have to fall back on personal connections to find work. Those dynamics are now playing out at Oracle, the $160 billion California-based software giant run by Larry Ellison. Earlier this week, the US Department of Labor (DOL) sued (pdf) Oracle for wage violations and hiring bias, alleging that the company displayed “hiring discrimination against qualified White, Hispanic, and African-American applicants in favor of Asian applicants, particularly Asian Indians.” The DOL says the discrimination stemmed from biased hiring strategies like “targeted recruitment, and referral bonuses that encouraged its heavily Asian workforce to recruit other Asians and its reputation for favoring Asians.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/india/889524/the-us-says-oracle-is-encouraging-indians-to-hire-others-indians-and-its-killing-diversity/amp/ |
My husband was told by a neighbor that he wanted to hire him to be a token white American to avoid trouble, because he was an all Indian shop. My liberal husband was shocked and disgusted. Didn’t believe me when I told him what you posted, until it happened to him |
My friends are the same until I bring them to my firm. The entire floor is Indians. No diversity. They can’t believe it. No college students |
Same with my last comoany. The entire IT Departmemt were Indians. Are we supposed to beleive that no Americans are majoring in computer science? |
....sorry for typos.....I do know how to spell! |
No one disputes the facts. Elites ignore them or delete them.
It is a remarkable commentary that in this peculiar part of the labor market, an older worker is one who has passed his or her 35th birthday. Younger workers cost less than older ones, so many H-1B employers prefer young foreign workers to older (35-plus) Americans. Further, because of their legal status, nonimmigrants are more pliable (i.e., more indentured) than U.S. workers. If one looks more carefully at these selections, it becomes clear that the system does not just prefer young males from India, it prefers young male Indians from areas where the Hindu religion is strong (a bit stronger than it is in the balance of the Republic). According to unpublished State Department data, the three Indian states (Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka) hosting two of the five U.S. consulates in India (Chennai and Hyderabad) that provided more than 59 percent of the H1-B visas issued in 2016 in India were 84.0 percent to 88.5 percent Hindu, compared to about 79 percent for India, generally. (The new state of Telangana, which recently split off from Andhra Pradesh, is still considered to be a part of the older state in these calculations.) Stated another way, and using the same databases, the system not only favors young, Hindu males from India, it favors those from just the three southern Indian states served by those two consulates. https://cis.org/North/H1B-Hiring-Bias-within-Bias-Discrimination-within-Discrimination |
The country's demise is driven by Income inequality due to tax cut after tax cuts for the wealthy and unquestioned budget for the military, both of which has increased the debt to be 100% of GDP. This leaves no resources for healthcare, education, infrastructure, investment for innovation and science or for social welfare. THIS IS THE MAJOR DRIVER BEHIND THE DEMISE OF THE COUNTRY.
The conman in chief and the GOP doesn't have the majority behind them as evidenced by the ability win the popular vote just once since 1988. So they divide the nation by gerrymandering, voter suppression, denying minorities their right to vote in myriad ways(removing voting precincts, reducing voting days and hours), demagoguery about minorities and immigration to rile up the white racist base and play white identity politics, conning the old white men to vote against their interest (taking healthcare away, drastic cuts in social and education budget). THIS FRAUD AND DEMAGOGUERY IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE DEMISE OF THE NATION. |
Common myths drive bad policy
If immigrants "do jobs that Americans won't do", we should be able to identify occupations in which the workers are nearly all foreign-born. However, among the 474 separate occupations defined by the Department of Commerce, we find only a handful of majority-immigrant occupations, and none completely dominated by immigrants (legal or illegal). Furthermore, in none of the 474 occupations do illegal immigrants constitute a majority of workers. Many occupations often thought to be worked overwhelmingly by immigrants (legal and illegal) are in fact majority native-born. After analyzing government data, CIS found that native-born Americans make up a majority of workers among maids and housekeepers (51%), taxi drivers and chauffeurs (54%), butchers and meat processors (64%), grounds maintenance workers (66%), construction (65%), and janitors (73%). https://www.numbersusa.com/news/cis-report-dispels-myth-jobs-americans-wont-do It is all about cheap labor to replace US citizens. Remember that when you vote for another elite. |
i am a minority was able to vote. |
great! One anecdote! |
part of the problem in this country is that we have become a nanny state. Sad but true, this is a real problem perpetuated by the left. Democrats want votes. Yet, don't do anything for these people. Look at big cities. It is in sad state of affairs. Yet, these people continue to vote for democrats expecting different outcome. When will they wake up? |
Here's the nanny state: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
what the heck are you talking about? a 'nanny state' ???!! last I checked NOBODY has much help in America. We wish it was a "nanny state" LOL. |

The demise will be started by a financial catastrophe. The entitlements and promises cannot be kept.
You decide who made the promises, but we're at $66K debt for each and every person in the country. And that's just the amount "on books". The "off books" figure is not 20 Trillion, but 200 Trillion. Government numbers: http://www.usdebtclock.org |
