[quote=Anonymous][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]

the point was that I am in a group in which the Indian managers favor other Indians.  favoritism in the workplace.  based on personal relationships from outside activities.  activities that I will never be included in.   since I can't list the statistics from my company, I added statistics for the managed service providers that provide the cheap labor.   because not only is it happening in my company but also happening in the H1B body shops that feed into these large corporations.[/quote]
