i did not know until today there is this much anti-immigrant and especially anti-indian sentiment in tech. idk, it was very eye opening and very sad to read those. i am telling myself that people who were posting those things are small in numbers.

It's not surprising really. There needs to be an enemy group, one that some portion of the supporting population has some grievance against. First it's hispanics (illegal immigrants taking your jobs), then trans (men in womens washrooms), then Indians (taking your tech jobs), then it'll be some other group.

There are also the Chinese (stealing your technology).

Didn't mention that one because it was already used years ago. And also kung flu.

[habinero]

Yeah. It's deeply stupid and so counterproductive. I hate it.

Lot of people share the sentiments but afraid to post because they are labelled as racist.

want to take a wild guess why this is? and not against any other nationality of immigrants in tech?

Have you heard about the term "the silent majority"?
