Or maybe you just aren't that good of an engineer (or whatever profession you are into) and find the easiest group to blame on your failures. I found that people who often are quick to judge and group of people in one bucket based on their color/ethnicity/gender/... are often not that bright people and like to focus on directing it on others. Somewhat like MAGA.


> Somewhat like MAGA.

Wow this escalated quickly. What OP is saying is not anecdotal but true to every major US tech company. You can cope all you want, won't make a difference

> Indians hire only Indians.

I've worked for Indian managers several times and they all hired non-Indian people.


I think both can be true.

I have seen teams that are 100% Indians with a manager actively pushing Indian resumes and friends/family on top. They don’t play nice and by the DEI rules like a lot of Americans do.

But I have also seen amazing Indian managers that don’t act like this.

It’s ok to acknowledge that culturally Indians will favor themselves heavily. As bad as some of you want to make it sound like racism to close that conversation at all cost.


Way to paint with a really broad brush...


I use my real life experience to form my opinions, yes.


I'm sure you do. But your real life experience is not everyone else's real life experience, so there's no really need to make blanket statements about people.


Blanket statement - western europe is where people want to live

Wrong?

Ok good, don't come here then.


Oh wow, you went from one place to some totally different place at the drop of a hat. Where did me "coming" to Western Europe come into the discussion about racial stereotyping about Indians? I'm not in Western Europe, and I don't plan to live there, not sure how you got that impression.

I think there's no reasoning with someone who only wants to deal in absolutes. Have a good day.


There is some bias in some teams, but it's not universal, and such a bias for one's ethnicity really exists in teams of all ethnicities. You just see it more because there are plenty of xxxx in IT.
