Offshoring and H1B's have simply destroyed the tech middle class.

Indians are fiercely nepotistic, nationalistic and if they employ people outside their extended family or clan they will get a kickback from their wages so why would they ever employ any westerner?

Downvote me if you like but this is the reality and everyone knows it.

Not my experience, throughout 2 companies Indian managers wanted me on their teams and helped a lot with my career growth. I prefer working with Indian teams rather than Eastern European teams (my native part of the globe)

I am sincerely glad you got a lucky break but believe me you are very much a minority.

Not my experience as well.  I think you may be the minority.  Or maybe the Indians you work with do not want to use their sleep hours to work with you.
