    This is an interesting moment, because the actual racists on the right (and there are many on the left as well) are outing themselves.

    Contrary to what DD with his thread and others said, conservatives and right-leaning people are not "primarily racist". It's a small fringe group, and they seem very jealous of successful tech people getting positions of influence in Trump/ administration.

    While they might sometimes be right on some things, I find their xenophobia and racism repulsive. Being against illegal immigration doesn't make you a racist, per se. But being against immigration of people with other skin colours because of their skin colour does.

    I consider this a reasonable, non-racist response to Vivek's position.

    I had a friend (son of friends of my parents) in Korea who committed suicide at age 17 because he dien't get into the top university - sad and ridiculous.

    I'm just raising my kids to be happy, and hopefully become good people. No need to push them like crazy.

    If she is a software engineer making close to a million bucks she would be considered ok otherwise definitely a failure.

    Man so many grifter and racist bad faith sides to this. Vivek using the "culture" argument to put down the common American. The white supremacists being offended. Elon and other tech bro monarchists begging to keep that cheap engineering labor from H1B1 visas.

    Guys, tech bro billionaires don't want Indians because of superior academic culture. Its because migrant workers are easier to exploit. Its that simple.

    This whole situation is funny and a good example why fascism is never sustainable. Its because the type of people drawn to fascist power don't get along with even other fascists. Its a zero sum game to them. Enemies form easily.

    Elon better watch it

    If he gets dropped by MAGA, who will he have left to run to? He can’t go back to being a Democrat, they’ll never like him and won’t give him the praise and constant dick riding he craves and receives from right wingers

    of course Elon wants more H-1B visas…a lot easier to get them to work many more hours for lower pay

    no different from all these companies hiring all these illegals in droves…the people at the top have the mindless low IQ drones obsessing over trans people and screaming about mass deportation taking the heat off the very people who give these illegals all the incentive in the world to keep crossing the border

    Trump himself has relied heavily on undocumented workers, and Mr. America 1st is a huge fan of H-1B visas as well….shocker, I know

    The Trump Organization requested and received at least 192 visas for foreign workers in 2018, according to Department of Labor data,” TPM reported in 2019. “That number appears to be the highest for the company going back to at least 2008 and likely much earlier, based on public records.” The largest number of visas went, unsurprisingly, to Mar-a-Lago

    Do you really think Musk has a problem getting people to work for him on his engineering teams?

    Keep up. This has been explained a dozen times over.

    Domestic talent has already been sucked up by the top companies. All this is left are 'tech workers' who suffer from the DKV. They believe having an over priced piece of paper makes them talented and desired. They believe they are entitled to high wages, positive work life balance and an abundance of comforts. We call these people normies.

    Meanwhile, the normies are conflating a different problem. One that consists of companies who abuse the H1B to hire low and/or entry level jobs for lower pay and wage abuse opportunities.

    Companies who are on the cutting edge are frustrated because they are wanting certain individuals given H1B's but the process is slow and arduous, often leaving the candidate to pursue other opportunities. The companies who are abusing the H1B do not care who the person is, as long as they are willing to work cheap. There is an endless supply of these people who likely have been waiting years to get in.

    I find it cute your ilk has made up its own jargon.

    So basically the tech companies need a large supply of workers to exploit who will work for lower wages and have no life outside of work to keep up their margins and stock prices? God forbid people like Elon pay more and treat their workers better.

    So you fully admit to conflating two different topics.

    Question: How much does the employees from Musks companies make? If you can't answer this question, then how can you assume Musk underpays his employees?
    Question: Why is the application-to-job posting ration one of the highest in industry? Is it because so many people want to be abused for low pay? Your narrative makes zero sense.

    Why is it you have a hard time accepting that the average graduate is below mediocre and the highest academic performers still behind the truly gifted people?

    If you're gifted, you do not need a formal education. The best educations can be found free online. Normies struggle with this concept.
