What makes you think they’re racist versus just hiring the best available talent? There are more Indians in universities than the general population, and a lot more of them in engineering degrees than other degrees. It makes sense there are lots of Indians in some industries, both in the management roles and in the populations that managers are hiring from.

You really think nobody in the continental US can do good work in tech? You will have to fight really hard to convince me that all the talent is non existent.

  • I didn’t say non existent. But in short enough supply at the appropriate level of skill to have different skews without any discrimination happening

Yeah that’s never considered an acceptable argument whenever the ratio of white people in a company gets “too high”, don’t see why it should be any different with Indians.
