[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at a large financial company that only hires Indian H1Bs for Unix admins.  Indians only hire other Indians.  The bias is embedded in the culture.

Suppose there was a large, U.S. government-operated program that permitted U.S. employers to hire nothing but White Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP) college-graduate men between the ages of 22 and 30.

The sad truth is, if you change a few words, that is exactly what the H-1B program permits; but instead of WASP males, the favored population i[b]s male Indian college graduates, perhaps largely from the south and west of India[/b] (and certainly not men from other parts of Colonial India, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar (Burma), and very, very few women from the Subcontinent).

OP here.  I think what you are talking about is something different than favoritism and probably more appropriate for another thread.  You are talking about race in hiring practices, not necessarily a situation where a manager has a favorite based on personal relationship and gives that person advantages that other employees don't get.

I'm not necessarily saying that the issue you raise isn't an issue or isn't worth a discussion, but I think it's different than the topic of the thread.[/quote]
