It seems like this debate has turned into a culture war and desi americans are right in the middle of a complex and nuanced situation. I saw a tiktok of an indian american guy who said he was fired and replaced by native indians. The offshoring and h1b affects American desis too yet who are we to stop our ancestors from seeking opportunities when our parents did the same? For wanting a better life? Wouldn’t that make us hypocrites or uncle toms if we say anything against it? But at the same time the laws of supply and demand are very real, 2 decades ago the landscape our parents built a life in was vastly different with an actual demand for their jobs. Also keep in mind international indians, even if you do move here and get citizenship, your kids will have to compete with the motherland too when they grow up, that is to say if we’re not completely displaced by then. Even when you get the coveted citizenship, you will always be competing with native Indians from the motherlands who offer better incentives to corporations then you will as a citizen. As a desi american ive switched careers because of these happenings and I wonder if I would have switched careers if we had better labor protections. If the landscape was different. What are your thoughts?
