I generally agree with you, but I would say if the tech industry as a whole was like a muscle that appeared empathetic and understanding of cultural differences, there would be a thin nerve of xenophobia that controls some of the major movements of said muscle. Why do I say this? It is a bit inherent for Americans to believe their job is theirs alone if they are performing adequately. If you are laid off, especially in sales, and then the company goes and spends money to hire someone in India or Romania, a xenophobic person would blame that new employee for existing. They wouldn't blame the company for making an unprofitable and often unethical move.
