I, highly educated person of color, the son of immigrants, and CEO more than once, took that comment as a sign of Trump's real agenda-and Ive been woke ever since. #ISeeYou

Bannon seems to be more Eurocentric but Trump has sidelined him and gone more in the direction of the Koch Brothers. My impression of Trump is that he views immigration in terms of what is best for corporate interest rather than the national interest.

I have read that on a lot of websites critical of H1B's. I think the reason they are able to afford the region where most homes are over the 1mill is because they have many people living in one McMansion.

The H1B, OPT, etc at places like Google, Twitter, Amazon, and other top tech companies are paid really well and are doing specialized work. The issue is Indian service companies like Accenture, TCS, etc and other big MNC's like Intel, Oracle, JP Morgan, etc, where pay is lesser than Google and they are not in genius roles, which is what the program was created for

Look, I know you ain't fond of having many brown people around, whether they're South Asian or from South of the border...but that ain't different than a bunch of hipsters rooming together in the Mission.

It's just expensive here. And you don't have the cojones, skills, nor the dineros to play, Mr. White Nationalist. All ya'll can do is shake your fists in frustration at the keyboard and post racialist links. So have a Diet Coke and a smile.

Do your math.

It's still a lot of people. Like I said, that's bigger than the entire population of Japan. And that's about 14-15% of the population of India, which exceeds that of the African American % of the US population, which is roughly 12-13%.

Actually, India by definition is multicultural and multiethnic, with 22 major languages written in 13 different scripts, with several hundred dialects.

My country is the USA. It's not with war with Pakistan.

A lot of people have to share space due to the housing shortage.

These are estimates from 2000 to 2016. Not sure how accurate they. Ironically it shows the largest numeric increase in the White population in the areas where they are building new track housing developments and decline where there is little new housing.

I really don't understand this when it's the Bay Area where I've experienced the most racism as a Black man. People from the Bay like to talk up diversity, housing, and "being liberal", until those issues are at their doorstep. The Bay is the classic example of what limousine liberals are.

Racism is wrong period. I've seen many instances (including on this thread) where people call out white fascism but look the other way when it is being directed against whites or other non-Asian groups.

You also see this in the diversity initiatives with Silicon Valley companies, in how they are discriminatory towards white males while propping up women and minorities. Why not hire/promote based on merit only and let the cards fall where they may?

Not to mention that white men still have an edge in getting VC funding:
