That doesn't make any sense though, given how many real tech workers are immigrants with accents.
What you say does make sense for someone trying to do certain kinds of fraud (e.g. an Indian scammer pretending to be an IRS agent demanding iTunes gift cards), but not for applying for a tech job.
- jstarfish 4y agoImmigrants are people you can hold legally accountable for fraud. Someone who catfishes their way into a remote-work job and is untouchable by domestic law, not so much. There are some ethnic boundaries across which some employers are not willing to entrust remote work, and the response by the impacted demographic appears to be to double down on the fraud that led to the stereotypes to begin with.
