    You do realize some foreigners take American names when they move here. It could be less than 5. :suss:

      Walking around the office this morning, I counted name plates - five Americans and 26 Indian/Pakistani.

      What part of the US are you in? It isn't that bad in the UK, no where near, only a few Asians, so I guess the US must have really pushed to get them over while at the same time Americans didn't fancy a life as a coder. Don't blame them, its a pretty crap job in many ways, and you have to be cut out for it.

          Your right that is depressing. Have you tried looking for jobs in your area that have no Americans?
