Do Indians have similar negative experiences working in predominantly white IT teams? I have many Indian friends that work in all-white teams, in middle America, as well as in the Bay Area. Are they keeping their complaints bottled up, or do they have a fundamentally different experience?
- brandonmenc 12y agoIndians don't have the baggage of having been slaves, then poor and disenfranchised, in this country. They're judged by whites in a completely different way because of it.
- dragonwriter 12y agoAlso important, they judge and approach the white-dominated general society differently because of it.

- rimantas 12y agoSorry, how many former slaves are now in IT?
- boynamedsue 12y agoI don't think Indians, for the most part, feel a need to fit in at work. The Black experience in America is different. Being brought to America under the auspice of slavery has created a perverse assimilation issue for American Black folks. Indians have come to the US for work, education, better lives, etc. That sets a wholly different tone.
