@xroad Not that America doesn't have problems with race relations, but TBH, we've been dealing with issues due to multiculturalism since we were founded, Europe is only now starting to experience massive cultural shifts... from what I saw in Germany it was less about race and more about "well he's clearly not German"

Try working for a Dutch company as an American. you're smiled to, treated nicely, but will never never be treated with the respect you deserve, nor granted any opportunity unless you somehow become Dutch.
source of implication: am American. worked for Dutch company.
the travel benefits are amazing though. 😃 -
@ReturnVoid you are right. Its not about the race. Im polish btw.

@xroad its not about the race. Many flustrations are winded up on polish people. We are the perfect spingoats. We work hard and pay taxes yet we still are seen as thieves exploiting the system. We just have to get used to it.

I don't care if you are a cripple Asian gay Jew (or whatever), but if I don't get to do work because you are willing to settle for less because you live in a cheaper country I can imagine not being all that happy about that. Sure, it's what the market dictates, but that doesn't make it less frustrating.
Every time I go to Germany there is at least one guy that just hates it when foreigners are hired for programming. That happens for every project. Last time one guy was even pissed that he had to sit at the desk next to us. Like we were lepper. He spoke very laudly about that. We get the hardest tasks, get paid less than them and still have to put up with this kind of behavour. Shame on you Germany.
