Repeat after me, Indians are not racists, they are just beimg opportunists (3 times) Indians do this not because they are racists, they do this because there is tremendous cost savings involved when they hire other Indians. No social security, FICA, no insurance, half the wages, and they don't have to report the income because it is paid in cash. The reason the Indian software (shell companies, body shops, or umbrella companies) hire Indians only is because, the Indians are looking for H1b's, they make $5 to $10/hour off the employee, just because they are getting them an H1b. In turn, the shell company also provides a cover for all the lies written on their H1b clients resumes. "There are no jobs in the US for which Indans are not qualified, thanks to Indian body shops". It's a win-win for the H1-b, and the body shop. The H1b + Body Shop combination is a very very effective and deadly technique... -- blacky "Jeff Davis" <luzer15@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:<3rydnZSv2KCKeLvdRVn-gg@comcast.com>... > "Scott Auge" <scott_auge@yahoo.com> wrote in message > news:4026E54C.3020900@yahoo.com... > > I smell some racist overtones there too. > > > > I do know that SOME Indians do tend to hire other Indians.
