> Maybe they don't care to network.. maybe these foreign workers would rather work and do well in their field than suck * to get ahead? Yeah, I'd definitely rather work and do well in my field than play the popularity game. Oh, and I'm a young white reasonably-good-looking male. I've been delivering great software for years. But I didn't get anywhere career-wise until I got over myself, stopped wishing the world worked like a meritocracy, put myself out there, and made friends like crazy. I don't care about the popularity contest, but I play the game anyway, so I can get the work I want. Maybe this game would have been more difficult than it is if I had been a different ethnicity, or from overseas, or whatever. I don't know. I'm not saying it was easy. But just because somebody wants to do good work and magically achieve success for their work alone doesn't mean the world is going to bend the way they want, no matter what their skin color is.
