    If a racist person wants to diminish his potential talent pool when hiring, that's his loss.

        It's not really discrimination then though.

          Exactly - unless you are a sandal wearing, leftie, tree hugging, etc., etc.

            What happens when the lizards start looking for jobs? Will the bobs complain that they can't understand them?

                Not a problem - lizards have to eat as well and are quite fond of the odd Indian

                  I don't mind working with Indians and they don't mind working with me. In fact when they work with me people tend to comment 'Here comes the Cowboy and Indians' :igmc

                    You'll usually find that the best spoken Indians have had the best education, attending either an international or boarding school before going on to one of the top universities.

                      First telephone conference with offshore team at my new gig. this morning. Couldn't understand a word the Indian developers offshore were saying, but thought it was best to keep my mouth shut, at least for now. No sooner had that thought crossed my mind when the onshore Indian developer sat at the side of me started interrupting the entire offshore team - every thirty seconds - complaining that he couldn't understand a word they were saying.

                      Contracting these days is about learning how to sit back and have a good laugh - and then invoicing for it.
