I live in a predominantly black neighborhood and no one follows this. Mostly feelings are negative toward Google because they are perceived to be contributing to gentrification. Also to some degree ordinary black people feel little connection to the hardcore STEM folks that Google focuses on hiring.
- localbro42 6y agoPart of the problem is the US immigration system. Instead of hiring the best talent possible at the highest wages possible, they hire the cheapest overseas talent -- by means of flooding the system with applications. This is bad for immigrants who are truly are top talent, and who deserves to be paid more. This is also bad for local workers, especially minorities w/o connections, because Big Tech would rather higher an overseas worker at a low wage as an indentured servant while they work their way out of the H1B system over a decade. The only ones who benefit are BigTech.
- caskstrength 6y agoDo you have numbers to back that up? Last time I've seen such discussion it turned out that FAANG H1B application numbers are quite low and most of the quota is consumed by "service" companies.

- osazuwa 6y agounless all the black folks in your neighborhood work in tech, why would they follow this?
- bmcn2020 6y agoThis comments seems so strange to me. I don't see the connection here, or why the population in general would follow this. Tech people, sure. Silicon Valley, sure. But...I mean. Connection here?
