Somehow they could only find talent in the same country they all originated from!

While that can obviously happen, here are a few more thoughts 1. Most grad students are also Indians, and the OPT (->STEM) -> H1B is a common path to employment based visas. And US universities are not unreasonably favoring Indians. 2. A lot of Indians are stuck in H1B status, because of the discriminatory and racist country cap. People stuck in H1B for 10+ years as of now, and potentially multi-decades wait in the future, while other countries get green card right away. 3. India does have many good schools, a focus on engineering, a huge population, and not so many good local opportunities. And at the end of it all, instead of blaming all Indians (do I represent my country when I attempt to immigrate, or am I an individual trying to not live in that damn country?), maybe USA should actually value high skill labor. Handing off a high skilled labor visa by lottery is a joke, instead it should be called a high-luck visa.

  What's funny is nobody said India, and here you go talking about India. I don't know why you deny Indian racial discrimination. There's a huge problem with Indian's discriminating. Not only discrimination against non-Indians, discrimination based on caste/skin color of other Indians. It's a huge problem. I've seen it run rampant in every single IT Department or tech firm I've worked at which leverage offshore & H-1B employees.

    Ironically I wasn’t talking about indian teams, and I personally have had great experiences being hired by Indian immigrants.

      s/India/Whatever_group_you_think_it_was/g I am Indian, and Indians often get attacked for 70% H1b going to India. I am tired of it. I do not represent the Indian govt when I try to find job in USA.

        Wait if 70% of H1Bs go to Indians, isn’t it even more suspicious that the team i’m talking about in America couldn’t find one Indian or American to hire?
