There are many African programmers here in India (Pune at least, I hear similar things about Delhi). The general trajectory seems to be study here because schools at home are a disaster, then move to the west because the east is too racist.
Nearly every single one wishes they could find a good job at home.
(Let me emphasize that this is all secondhand knowledge. The only racist behavior I've observed has been a Russian making a "jungle fever" type comment to me, plus standard "rip off the foreigner" stuff.)
I was in a hostel with some africans (Tanzania/Kenya) in Hyderabad studying CompSci under ICCR (Indian Govt) Scholarships about a decade ago. Great guys, very sharp. Lost touch over the years.
