paulina didi: with your account of hiring practice, i hope you don't start a business as you might get into some serious trouble with that mentality of discriminatory hiring practice esp if you are in US. If I were to hire someone I would hire an individual based on their qualification for the position that is open over nationality, regardless of where an individual is from. Yes helping one's fellow countrymen is one thing, however if you think by choosing a Nepali person over someone who is more qualified non-Nepali gives you a sense of being patriotic then that in my opinion is the most falsely perceived notion. And please don't make any assumption on Indians will do the same without any evidence, as you might know lot of young Nepalese are hired by big corporations in India to work for them.
