Indian people arent smarter or harder workers than white people or asians...so the obvious conclusion is that this is cronyism.
And this is considered 100% diverse!
Its frustrating how 'diversity' just means less white people nowadays.
Tech as a stable middle class job in America is dying.
There is always implicit bias in hiring, and monocultures like the ones that the article described happen very easily, regardless of race or gender.
It's a shame that it became such a politically-charged topic.
I think that DEI bringing to light the lack of racial, gender and ability diversity that is pervasive throughout corporate America is a huge success. That "DEI" and "pronouns" is "banned" in certain states is huge forward progress, even though it doesn't seem that way right now.
It got people thinking about this that would not have. That is how generational change starts.
For example, Basic civil rights for women and people historically discriminated against took decades to happen. Some states removed interracial marriage laws relatively recently (90s/00s), for example, despite interracial relationships existing since forever!
It took years for big OSS projects to rename their "master" trunk branches to "main." Nowadays, "master" branches look outdated and odd, and many big projects have diversity as a line item in their codes of conduct.
