A few weeks back, the comments section of Spend Matters was hijacked by a handful of protectionist nutcases. I won’t delve into the specifics in this column but needless to say, it’s a good thing for the pro H1-B Visa camp that it’s most vocal opposition is so angry and out of touch that they’re incapable of stringing together logical arguments without lapsing into racist, anti-Indian rhetoric. Clearly, even if the world is even partially flat — which I’m not convinced of — it’s clear these folks will be the ones who are pancaked by reality bearing street pavers along the way, getting rolled so thin that even a Masala Dosa would look thick in comparison (which they’d probably choke on in disgust because their idea of spicy is defined by McDonald’s fries with extra salt and a few dashes of pepper). Regardless, I’d love to see some of these sorry souls have to wake up and wheeze their way through a typical day in most parts of the world, realizing how good they have it here. But maybe now they’ll get their chance.
