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

I haven't been in a team in the UK where the majority is English for many years. Might have been in 2006, I think. Mind you, as soon as I join a team, the proportion of foreigners goes up.

The reason for the fewer numbers in the UK is because all of the work has been shipped out to India! ;)
Yeah, that has happened. Same for US firms too though, but how come so many ended up in the US though?

Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. --- George Santayana (December 16, 1863 – September 26, 1952) Those who fail to clear history are doomed to explain it. --- OriginalGriff (February 24, 1959 – ∞)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to give respect to Native Americans. Although they also immigrated to the Americas from Asia, albeit a long time ago.

In the same office sitting next to each other is a feat in and of itself. --- In our office we have Chinese, Indians and quite a few first gen. Russians. Problem occurs at lunch when food aromas woft through the air many very delicious, or when one wants to run up and down the stairwell at lunch and there is someone doing Tai Chi on one of the landings in the stairwell.

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.
You should have been in India 250 years ago when it was really bad. We had all these light colored dudes walking around torturing people and acting as if they ruled us.
I are n00b.

There... how do you feel now? ;P Seriously JSOP, look at CP, it's just hamsters working really hard, and Chris and bunch of other people are taking all the credit, while Bob still rocks! Who cares?

Our dev team in the UK has 1 Welsh surname, 1 Scots, 3 Irish, 1 Indian, 2 Pakistani, 1 Nigerian, 6 English (whatever that means), although that doesn't match the nationalities or skin colours, and doesn't tell you what accents they have.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

That's nothing, 250 years ago we kept running across vast tracts of land where the people were incapable of running themselves.

Yes, thank you, I moved servers and didn't update that web site. I spent 2 years working on it but ran out of money, story of my life, before it was completed. I will remove the link. If I can figure out how?
