Who are the polite Indians? 16 years ago
In Australia we have an additional problem. We have a strong, English speaking education system but unfortunately the CS schools here aren't as prestigious as MIT/Stanford/CMU etc, and Australia isn't seen as good a destination as the US for Indian emigrants.
That means we get Indians who can't get into US colleges and/or can't get US jobs: ie, the second rate developers. Unfortunately that means that any good Indians here will have to work twice as hard to overcome that reputation.
Interestingly, for some reason we seem to get a lot of really good Chinese students and immigrants, so they don't have the reputation problems to overcome.
