I work with plenty of people from India. They're pretty good at their jobs. They should be paid the same as us in the USA.
I don't mind that they work on the other side of the world. I don't mind them at all. I mind that the main reason why they're hired is that my employer can pay them peanuts. They deserve better.
I’ve had really good and really bad experiences with contractor companies from India. It’s truly hit or miss and more often than not you don’t get the same quality of code or commitment (contractor or not)
That said, I agree with pay. They work for cheap and it really hurts the industry here at home while helping the c-suite pocket more of the profits.
I've met and worked with Indians who either were born in the US or migrated more than 5 years prior.
As it turns out they are just like the rest of us. There is definitely some racial stereotypes at play.
You had to work with Indians to realize they’re just like us? 💀
We are biased even if we don't realize it. Its not that I had some sort of hate or something like that. I just found working with them to be eye opening to me. I conscious level I could care less about race. The thing is everyone is biased because that's how our brains work. You will subconsciously make assumptions which may or may not be truth. It feels better to work with people that look like you because that is a survival trait.
To answer you question I didn't believe Indians were or were not hard workers. However, I have met people who hate the Indians because they are all the same. I myself was simply unconsciously biased. If I were given the choice between a Indian and a white guy I would likely choose the White guy for some non racial reason. Bias is very had to avoid and you may be completely unaware you are being racist. What also bothers me is when companies go out of there way to hire someone because they are a minority instead of hiring because they are the best. If someone hired me based on race or disability I would be put down to say the least.
