I’ve worked with plenty of coworkers on H1B both on boring old enterprise companies and BigTech. Absolutely none of them were better (or worse) than American citizens.

On the other hand, those working for WITCH companies…

And trust me, I’m in no way “anti minority”. Not only are some of my best friends minorities - so are my parents…

If you're not anti minority why are using anecdotal evidence to generalize large population groups?

You mean generalizing population groups by saying they are no better or worse than the general population?

WITCH companies are not hiring the best or the brightest. Their entire value play is contracting out mediocre developers at mediocre wages.
