Again, I pre-empted these types of debates by saying we can split hairs on why this is.
I am not denying this is the case for some, but also it's not the entire picture. I know plenty non-H1Bs that fit this bill, and there have been plenty of articles written on the rise of the Indian-American worker, especially in the tech sector https://www.southasiamonitor.org/spotlight/unprecedented-ris..., use your favorite search engine for a plethora of other recent articles on the subject.
These scenarios are the case for many Indian people and others working in the US. It's not an edge case. There are no hairs to split when immigration and citizenship status are integral to why people might act the way they do...
It's how migrant families (including my own) always have been here. They have always been willing to put in more, even when they clearly are aware they are being taken advantaged of (by the American standards, of course). I am 1st generation, and I can tell you right now, I would never work 13 hour days every week for years on end without a vacation like my father did. And that's a good thing, of course. But again, my comment was intended to be an observation more than anything.
I've noticed the same kind of trend, except in my case it's not working out the same way. My Indian team mates are happy to diligently put in the hours, but it has been difficult to convince them that they should instead rock boat a little in cases where those hours aren't clearly helping anybody.
20 well thought out hours > 40 hours running tests you know will pass.
It's a pity that discussing cultural differences as things that can be an asset or a hindrance is taboo. I surely have my own inherited hang-ups and it would be helpful to have it pointed out every now and then.
