#2This seems like a management fuck-up. It's kind of funny because indian outsourcing companies like Infosys, TCS, etc. have often been accused of hiring a disproportionately high percentage of South Asians and Indians within the United States. In fact, this same company named here (Infosys) has also been earlier accused of favouring asians and not hiring "stupid Americans" - https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/08/india... ... Looks like Infy management wanted to fix this problem (or at least appear to do so) and add more diversity but fell foul of US laws by explicitly communicating their desires to HR.

#4How does this differ from companies and elected officials openly saying right now that females and minorities are preferred for X position, like vice president of USA or CEO of Reddit?

It doesn't, but you can't discriminate against white men.

Companies like reddit haven't been sued enough for it to sink in that this is discrimination yet.

#7Wow, while this has been an open secret forever that HR recruiting for senior executives is highly "picky" going to racial lines, i found this hard to read.
Lets hope for a better future where ignorant hate like this doesn't exist as much as it does today. People deserve more than being judged on the basis of the circumstances of their birth.

Doesn’t. Gender/minority preference is radical liberalism, which in long run causes more damage than it helps. Germany requires company boards to include females too (could be executive positions, can’t recall exactly) yet market just doesn’t have enough supply for these positions.
Quit telling women that math or toy cars ain’t for them, instead of enforcing stupid rules

Pushing for more women/minorities in STEM/leadership positions = you're fixing the global problem, doing the opposite = you're making the global problem worse.

#10Wow - so Indian companies hires all Indians even in American offices. CEO gets caught on a hot mike saying they don't want to hire stupid Americans which forces said CEO to change hiring policy but they blunder it and tell HR not to hire Indian candidates which back fires.
