Infotech (Certified Minority Owned Business Enterprise) recruiting for DARPA

[thunder rising]

It doesn't get any funnier than this. Right next to Russian Roulette it's a hit. Apparently, Infotech can't bring in H1-Bs on the DARPA project, so they are skimming the Americans to work on a DARPA project. Fuck 'em.

2. Is this the requisite, ad to prove that no qualified US Citizens apply for the job?

I guess Indians qualify as a Minority.

Does one have to be over 16 years of age to apply? :rofl:

3. "qualify as a Minority" ... that's a joke some people won't get.

8. It's an Indian owned company.

So yes it's minority owned. Is there something else you're trying to get at with your OP that maybe I'm not understanding?

4. I'm confused -- what's the problem here?

Maybe I missed something. This is an American company hiring Americans, right?

5. Ohhhhn riiiggghhttt. wink wink

6. What?

The job listing makes it look like it's an American company hiring Americans. You admit as much in your OP. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I also see an Indian name for the e-mail contact and the company name. Is that what you have a problem with?

7. Actually it's Indian owned

So I'm guessing this thread is supposed to be more of the typical hate on Indian computer people, even if they're hiring Americans to work in the United States. :shrug:
