I see more of Indian and Asian kids, 13-18 age group. No comment on their contribution or other intentions. But I am concerned about ethnocentrism leading to nepotism, a future where they only interact with, hire and promote within their own races. That’s a phenomenon that Americans mostly shed in 70s. And a problem I see at the company I work for.
I work in tech. It’s a major area of concern. Great people, love them and wish them no harm. However, many of our entry level positions are being farmed out to them as cheap labor. Meaning many young Americans won’t have the same opportunities I did to get a job. I’m not saying kick them all out. But I agree with pausing the H1b program for a few years to allow domestic college grads to get a job.
Tbh. I see them as squandering a generational lead given the history of this country. Beyond that I’m empathetic to similarities in their situation as blacks and Hispanics in this country. That is to say I agree with the lesser-recited message of MLK’s speech. Our gov has systematically sold out the American people’s future and prosperity over the last few decades.
We have several trillion dollar companies in the country. Nvidia alone has a revenue higher than the GPD of most countries, including western ones like Canada. There is no reason every American can’t have access to a six-figure job. And there’s no reason why - if manufacturing weren’t outsourced - why we every American can’t have a guaranteed job that outpaces cost of living.
