This is what someone posted on that site:

India is suffering from "Brain Drain". The same wage difference that causes our jobs to flow to India, also cause their "best and brightest" to flow to the US. That raises an interesting question, given that many of the best Indian engineers, programmers, etc. come to the US, is that a substantial handicap for the Indian IT industry, who must make due with the those that remain? Will this be a significant factor in ensuring US tech dominance in the future?
The guy obviously doesn't know the man-power India have. By lossing loosing 100,000 engineer's a year, India is not going to be out of any brains.

Is this humor or sarcasm? I would've thought someone was trying to make fun of Microsoft again, but there's Java on there as well.
Speaking of negative sentiment against foreign workers, check this out.

The latest worry keeping IT workers awake at night isn't a virus, a Windows bug, or a malevolent hacker. It's the prospect of coming into work and finding a chimp in your cubicle.
As absurd as it sounds, that's the goal of Primate Programming Inc., a new company dedicated to the "advancement and gainful employment of nonhuman great apes within the United States information technology sector." The business is offering gorillas, bonobos, and other apes to businesses as a low-paid alternative to expensive programmers.
Mark Bajek, president and CEO of Primate Programming, says he was inspired to start the business after reading academic studies discussing how apes can learn language and perform complex tasks. Bajek had a flash of inspiration, hooked up with Dan Mezick, president of New Technology Solutions, a company that trains computer programmers, and the endeavor was born.
According to Bajek, primates are ideal for routine tasks such as running scripts, performing maintenance, and writing reports.
