The *American* Worker - New comment on Oy, an Extreme Bummer!.
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Oy, an Extreme Bummer!":
I'm sure you won't post this mini, but you know it's true and it's a cancer within Microsoft today and it gets worse by the day so you can try to hide it for now, but it's there and growing and it's not going away.
In his quest to eliminate white male American workers from Microsoft under the disguise of "Diversity" Bill Gates has now built a region of the country overrun with Indians who boldly demand accelerated promotions and raises by calling out "Diversity" at all times and blatantly and openly discriminate against white America workers.
With unemployment so high in this country why is Microsoft allowed to continue to ship in more and more Indians, Chinese, and Russian workers? Isn't it time we send back all of the H1-B visa and green card workers? We as Americans can't go abroad to other countries to work as they protect their citizens by not allowing foreigners to take jobs their citizens need. Just try to go to India and get a job or buy a house or a business. Even try going to Europe and get a job - you, as a foreigner cannot. If you don't believe me then check it out for yourself.
We ALL need to boycot Microsoft products and stop letting the U.S. government provide protections and government contracts for Microsoft. If Gates wants Microsoft to be an Indian comoany then he should move it and himself to India and send all of these Indians back home where they belong.

I have always wondered, why immigration was allowed in the USA.
Then I came across this:
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907:
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
I rather like his advice. If someone wants to come here, do it legally and become an American. No more referring to people as "African American" or "Mexican American," just "American" will do

I am Indian. I will stick around in the US of A, as long as people welcome me with open arms or until I get bored of it. I think the beauty of the whole country (USA) is in the equality.
I love what I am working on and Microsoft is a great place to be. Obviously no one should be promoted based on his race/color/creed/nationality. I find it hard to convince myself that I am here for the money.
Maybe the whole intent of that post was to blame race for your frustration at work and get some comradeship from being white. It might be that you are just crazy and I am wasting my time. It might also be that it was something you wrote but you really don't believe in.
The post initially invoked anger which only meant that I wasn't convinced that it is all bull shit. I have my end figured. Peace.

Mini,
This post is offensive. It does not in any way contribute to improving Microsoft or making it a better company. It is nothing but Xenophobia. I am surprised you have given it credibility by posting it here.

I'm surprised the OP didn't propose making all Indians walk around campus wearing H1-B visa patches pinned to their shirts & eat in different cafeterias. Maybe even a night where those loyal to our Vaterland here run wild through campus, shattering the office windows of every employee who is here on the despised H1-B.
Seriously, dude, clean out your headgear. Yes, it's hard for us to go to many other countries and buy a house, get a job, etc., but the US was founded on different principles than those countries. Their foundational documents don't imply that it should work that way for us, and that's their prerogative.
Yes, our immigration policies sometimes create a drag here and there...but the benefits to us as a country of immigration still far outweigh that. You're missing the big picture. Don't just myopically look at H1-B visas in the tech sector.

I agree with the OP. There is clear discrimination against white males in many groups at MSFT. The funny thing is Indians discriminate among themselves too based on region and language.
Importing foreign labor to reduce wages is not something new to our country though. It happened in the late 19th and early 20th century when workers were brought in by the shiploads from Europe to break unions here.
It is happening again now. If allowed Bill Gates would bring in shiploads of engineers from India, China and Russia until every programmer's wage fell to $8 per hour.
