Well, it doesn't seem right that H1Bs can vent and rant all they want about the problems they see with the H1B program and how they are getting the shaft, but the discussion can't go the other way.

A lot of non-H1Bs feel that they are getting shafted by the H1B program as well. How can those frustrations be articulated without it being considered "racial flamebait"?

No matter how you phrase it, if you as a non-H1B articulate frustrations with H1Bs and/or the H1B program, someone replying is going to mention the country/race that comprises 3/4ths of all H1Bs.

I don't know how to answer that in general but there are people arguing the other side in these threads. You need to do it without turning it into a nationalistic/racial conflict. "Pushed out of your own country's industry by foreign nationals" is just over the line.
