84% of H-1B Visas Go to India and China: Is It a Scam in Disguise? (pjmedia.com)

72% comes from India specifically. Not Central America and South America, not Africa or Asia. Just one country.

The people who get H1Bs aren't representative of the world, but the native-born tech worker population isn't representative of the USA either. There are cultural factors involved, not just the judgement of the people who issue H1Bs.

Other than the gigantic tech companies, the other beneficiaries of the H-1B visa program are India and China. Seventy-two percent of H-1B visa recipients were from India; 12% from China.

That’s 84% of the total number.

DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. It’s intended to boost the number of “minorities” in an organization or institution. And at least 84% of the time, that’s exactly what the H-1B program produces!

The idea that DEI programs are for the benefit of Indian and Chinese people is, frankly, nonsense. Hasn't the author heard of Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard among other things? It's kind of a big deal.

A funny story about an Indian guy: I faked being black to get into medical school.

As someone in IT (but not a tech company), Indians don't really count as diversity anymore. There are a ton of them already. I would estimate there are 3-4x as many Indians as there are women (of any race)

Stop calling it diversity if you mean minority. Diversity means a variety of people from different backgrounds. So some Indians on a team do count as diversity, as long as the group itself is diverse. Every ethnicity and gender can count towards diversity.
