Internships in European countries are entirely plausible. US visa situation is an exception to the rule among developed countries.

For example, Facebook has London offices, which is their go-to solution for US visa troubles.

Egypt might be "3rd world" in somebody's book, but I've never heard about the visa process being particularly racially biased (at least US visa process).

I just dont even know where to begin. The only way I can understand this statement is if you never heard anything about the process, period.

Its not about racial bias. Its about background checks, and making sure that the internship is genuine and in one of your uncle's US companies. Plus you should appear confident and genuine, in the in-person interview.
