It’s left over resentment over Indians being cheaper for the sake of being cheaper. It’s a more economic resentment than a racial one.
I personally don’t think this dynamic is as true anymore because Indians can command market rate globally and are going to have to compete less on undercutting price.

Holy shit. > 'Cheaper for the sake of cheaper'—India launched a probe to Mars for $75 million. That's less than the budget of many Hollywood films about space. India manufactures drugs extremely cheaply and supplies much of the Global South that is unable to afford the rates demanded by EU-US pharmaceutical companies. Your 'market rate' cannot be afforded by about two-thirds of the human population.
- jesuscript 4y agoYou're actually presenting this as an excuse for racism against Indians? Holy shit. I am not presenting it as an excuse, I am presenting it as a probable reason for it. It’s like if a historian explains to you the Treaty of Versailles and all you take away from it is that I’m presenting an excuse for Nazism and WW2. It is merely an explanation for what fermented the situation, not a justification. It’s up you to accept the reality or not. I don’t think it’s racism. It’s resentment. No one likes an undercutter. Take it for what it’s worth, that’s the reason you are seeing all the anti Indian tech worker vibes here.
