I think it's interesting that many of those same criticisms can be leveled at China. If you're not Han Chinese you'll never get far in any Chinese company. You will get far helping someone else get rich. Getting permanent residency is similarly stressful. In many ways, China is even less open than Western societies and far less accepting of doing things a different way. Might be great for returning Chinese but I'm not entirely sure they will be able to attract a global talent pool like SV has done. Add in censorship and you've got a pretty toxic environment brewing.

My guess is they'll run into similar (or worse) issues with their own SV.

I don't think that means any of what SV is doing is okay, just interesting that other nationalities there will face the exact same issues that they faced here.
