Why are you calling that Anglo-Saxon culture? You're clearly talking about the US, not the UK or France... You're not even talking about the whole US, or the majority, just the culture in the larger cities. Even within the US it isn't the people that were born here who traveled the farthest and learned a new language for an opportunity. This whole conversation is a surreal extension of what can only be one person's early career in the Bay Area, someone who by very unlikely random draw doesn't have any Chinese or Indian coworkers.
