Getting Over Xenophobia-Phobia

There seems to be a fear in the I.T. community about dealing with the fact that the industry is starting to be dominated by one country - India. And it is not just I.T. -- it is finance, science, and education.

As I posted before, this is not an accident. An Indian economist described India's "friendly takeover of the world" in 2000:

“…The process is in its infancy still. But remember that most H1-B visa holders will become US residents, and bring over several family members too. Something similar will happen in Germany and other Western countries. So, in a few decades, we can look forward to the creation of a huge global brainpower network of 50 million people of Indian origin. These will constitute a tiny fraction of the global population, but a big slice of the influential global population. “

“…They will matter in academics, business, stock markets, law, medicine and the arts. And so they will matter in politics too…”

I suggest this community get over their Xenophobia-phobia and start speaking truth to power. NASSCOM, USINPAC, and TiE want to use our fear of being labeled politically incorrect against us as they pursue their campaign of occupational apartheid. One can still be enlightened, savvy, and rational, yet still point out that Americans are being denigrated, discriminated, and displaced by people from one country - INDIA.

The sooner you get over this fear, the sooner the enemy has one less weapon in their arsenal. Until then, they will view you as cowering babies, terrified to speak up against their agenda.

AND THEY WILL NEVER LET YOU BACK IN I.T. ONCE THEY GET RID OF YOU.

...the "enemy" is not INDIA (with a conspiracy to take over America, as you claim) but our own GREEDY CORPS who outsource American jobs and hire Indians to make more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ of them. People of India too are being used although it seems like a huge opportunity to them, at the present time. Things will change. Today, our focus has to be on correcting corruption here at home instead by reenstating the "RULE OF LAW" which has been destroyed in the last decade...
-And no there is no such thing as xenophobia phobia because xenophobia is what it is: fear of the unknown, foreign, different and "percieved" other. It is not based on cognitive reasoning but the animal instincts left from the primitive ages of human development. Your mindset would target Americans of Indian ancestry too as "enemies" because it is overpowered by the primitive instincts instead of the higher reasoning.

Heal yourself.

@Blue - Please go instruct the Indian guest workers and their bodyshoppers about xenophobia, because they are nepotistic ones that refuse to work other people, like Americans. That is why many I.T. departments are now 80-90% Indian, a mix of NRIs, Desis, GC holding Indians, and H-1B and L-1 visa workers. Many American programmers where forced to train these people, and then got fired.

And I didn't target the enemy -- India, Inc. declared the war and identified themselves as the enemy when it began the rhetorical race war against non-Indian hi-tech workers years ago.
