India, the nation everybody hires to when they need something hacked?

This seems really bad.

Your comment is kinda racist.

You think about India as a call center scam country because that's mostly the only personal experience you have with Indians.

Also, Indians are more commonly known for social engineering scams than anything. (which is also a pretty racist stereotype).

I feel like it's more ethnocentric than racist, which is a bit less bad. Some developers have had negative experiences with offshore talent. I've personally had mixed experiences, and some of that comes down to communication issues and experience issues. Sometimes you get an offshore developer who is really skilled, but generally the very skilled developers get their work visa and come to the US.

You also get absolutely garbage developers in the states, but of course nobody ever mentions that. Lol
