shmde··on Apple discriminated against US citizens in hiring, DOJ says
But I dont go onto online forums and blast Hispanics for hiring other hispanics ? I know its a common trait worldwide to hire from your own group but I dont point out "specific" communities because they do it ? Like you just did.
shmde··on Apple discriminated against US citizens in hiring, DOJ says
Every group does this, but its okay to openly write discriminatory shit against Indians and chinese online.

Just look at the academic hiring phds for aerospace related department in US and tell me its not filled with hispanics.

When you start pointing fingers at people other than Indian/SEA and Chinese now it gets into the racist territory.

shmde··on Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it
Apple geeks eating up and justifying anything and everything that apple throws at them is hilarious to see. It takes 50-60$ for a 8GB stick and people justifying that 200$ markup because Apple needs to make profit too. Is it Stockholm syndrome I dont know.

shmde··on Ask HN: To what extent have digital payments replaced cash in your country?
> Please note that cash payments are not at all popular in India and UPI is the most common means of digital payment.

Delhi != India. Cash is still very popular in India and many shopkeepers groan when I ask them to show their QR code for payment.

shmde··on Indians Are Entering the U.S. Illegally in Record Numbers
Trust me the ones truly starving in our country do not have the enormous initial capital to pay the mule for crossing the border illegaly. Its NOT cheap for someone in India to illegaly migrate to a country soo far away. Maybe to a neighbouring country but definetly not to somewhere like USA, Canada, country in Europe.
shmde··on Indians Are Entering the U.S. Illegally in Record Numbers
Do you really think the government doesnt know about this ? That too the country known as "Big Brother" ? Americans want people who can work below minimum wage so they get to work the illegally migrated for low paying jobs like delivering food, getting their houses cleaned, gardening, construction work.

The governemnt gets to play both sides by making labour cheap and also campaigning "Build the Wall".

shmde··on Indians Are Entering the U.S. Illegally in Record Numbers
It might seem like all Indians are trying to get into US by hook or crook.

But to be honest its just from 3 specific states out of the 28. Pareto blah blah. I wont name the states.

The people who do have confidence in migrating illegaly successfully have a very very strong community over there who can help them out with basic needs like food and shelter and can get them blue collar jobs.
