Anti H1B ads on Bart
Some political org is taking out ads on Bart against the H1B system, thoughts? Source: https://www.buzzfeed.com/carolineodonovan/anti-immigrant-group-bart-ads-us-tech-workers-h1b-visa (Apologies in advance for linking Buzzfeed)

Lol. Hope some patriot doesn't get inspired and act on some 650k FANG engineer thinking he's 'taking away' his job. I visited bay area recently and was surprised how 'diverse' the neighborhoods are... I mean, this shit will NOT fly in Bellevue. In places like South center they don't care anyway. People of all ethnicities seem to live in all middle class neighborhoods in Bay area (not talking about the upper middle class ones like Hillsborough or Atherton of course).
Not fly in Bellevue? Is it racist out there?
No. 'This shit' = ad in the OP. Bellevue is very Asian, usually including the mayor. Everyone in the city knows most Asians they encounter are millionaires, they just keep their racist thoughts if any to themselves and move on. My point was that Seattle metropolitan region is reasonably segregated, so you can go live where you want. Well off Asians in Bellevue, non tech Asians in international district, well paid Indians in Redmond, low paid Indians in Issaquah, well paid white people in Queen Anne, Fremont, University district, Green lake not so well paid white people in Columbia City, etc. When the cultures meet wherever, people are respectful of each other.
Don’t worry it’s a hate group just like SS of Nazis talking about foreigners taking away jobs from Germany. Hitler enabled them in 1930 and Dotard now.
"I don't agree with what Trump says so I'll compare him to a person who was responsible for tens of millions of deaths"
He wasn’t responsible for all those deaths from the start. There was a ramp up period to get everyone riled up. It’s good to know history so you can watch out for bad trends that can potentially lead to those type of events.
Thanks for sharing and happy Friday to you. When I see content like this, it makes me positively motivated to save more money and increase my income further to prepare for an adversity. 🤓🤑.
Ha :) most of the Bart riders are immigrants - I am not sure if this message is targeted to the right audience :) sure Bart needs money and thanks to the ads. Its already a useless overpriced transport, always late and broken down - sadly lacking options .
I guess this kind of hate will create unnecessarily bad/ toxic/highly competitive environment for all ( including US workers) . I hope Congress and Donald trump will make visa process more welcoming for STEM professionals.
This is ironic because 40% of bart riders are from foreign countries. I hope there won't be any attacks
What a waste of money as 90% of BARt riders are either on H1, or have been on H1 in the past of work with multiple people on H1 at their workplace
They creeped me out when I saw them pop up the other day. I do not want this shit started. :(
Fucking creepy red and black color scheme too. Nothing subtle there.
Just reminded me of that campaign. Hindu's for ....

Sure.
Interestingly enough Trump said he prefers to reform the system rather than abolish it. Though he says many things.
