I feel like everywhere I work, we have this term, and it's become increasingly more common over the past decade as the USA becomes more and more hateful and aggressive towards the working class people... The offshore team. I really, really hate hearing about the offshore team. It's from a certain country in Asia that starts with I But I have nothing against those people that come from that country, it's simply out of concern for my well-being and my survival that it bothers me....

You look at a country like Germany, and how they have a workers council, and a country like France that has proper retirement, then you see the USA and how We have millions of computer science grads who struggle to find work, can't get a job, universities churning out new students in the tens of thousands per year... We shouldn't have an offshore team, at a company that makes billions of dollars, led by people that have so much money amassed up that they could survive for a thousand years spending millions.

It's just embarrassing, that as a society, we are so horrible to each other.

What are you seeing that I'm not seeing to the same degree? We're talking about subconscious biases here. I am aware the one city I visited does not represent a whole country, but being a large city, likely has significant representation in extranational communities. I do not assume a particular vehicle has a particular driver. All I assume is when someone drives unpredictably in sight (in comparison to the rest of the driving culture present), they'll be just as unpredictable when I'm near them. Like, I'm trying to keep growing here and try to talk about why racial stereotypes often "feel" correct. I don't see it as any different than judging your own race from a different region - for me, that'd be rude NYC people vs slow southerners or optimistic coastal Californians. I'm only talking about mannerisms that unintentionally get construed as racial.
