There are what 750,000 desi h1bs in the US?? If even 10% of us protested and walked down the street, this green card ling wait racism/discrimination issue would be solved and we would all have hope and residency rights.

The GC long wait time is not a racism issue at all. No one is preventing an Indian from getting a GC or applying for a GC. Every country has an equal and fixed number of GCs and though the Indian applicants have a significant backlog, that is simply because of the sheer number of Indians who apply through the Employment Based GC route.
Most importantly getting a GC or even a Driver's License is not a 'right' but a 'privilege' granted by the US constitution. I am one of those folks who have been doing the long wait and completely understand the frustration of the wait. But my perspective is that if you have a good job that offers you reasonable growth and your I 140 is approved, your life is not too different from a GC holder.

Op - I'll join the protest with you.

We desis are the biggest racist on earth, it's good that we have long wait as we don't belong to this land. If you wanna protest on something then rather go back to India and do something where it's needed.

Op - D3 probably just went for a GC marriage, pats himself everyday for gaming the system and watches in amusement as fellow desis work tirelessly to realize their ambitions in a foreign land.

Yes SA1 I am a GC holder for business reasons but at least I am not a mean person. My organization does things for Indian below poverty line.
