Indian academics at a Texas university conspired to exclude an American job-seeker from a tenured job, even to the point of labelling the Asian-American candidate as “white,” says a lawsuit by the Asian-American candidate named Sean Wang.
The lawsuit described the alleged anti-American discrimination against Wang at Southern Methodist University:
Since Hemang Desai (Indian-origin) became a full professor at SMU in 2006, its Accounting Department has had a systematic pattern of discrimination in tenure decisions. Among candidates of Indian descent who meet SMU’s stated productivity standard of at least four top-tier publications, 100% (2 of 2) were tenured: Neil Bhattacharya in 2008 and Gauri Bhat in 2020.
Among candidates of non-Indian descent (Caucasian and Chinese) who meet SMU’s stated productivity standard of at least four top-tier publications, SMU has not supported any non-Indian candidates for tenure, including Mina Pizzini, Chris Hogan, Jing Pan, Jeff Yu and Dr. Wang.
“But for Dr. Wang not being of Indian ancestry (he is Chinese/East-Asian), SMU would have granted him tenure,” the November 2025 lawsuit claims.
The lawsuit says: “On November 19, 2024, Dr. Desai informed Dr. Wang of a negative department vote of 3-1, with all three Indian faculty voting against tenure and the one non-Indian faculty member voting in favor.”
Officials at SMU did not respond to emails from Breitbart News. Desai also did not respond.
The lawsuit has been filed amid growing evidence that predatory Indian managers in the United States carefully arbitrage the H-1B and OPT visa programs to sell American jobs to desperate and unqualified visa migrants from preferred ethnic or caste groups.

When it becomes lucrative enough, minorities are bound to attack each other. No point in attacking whites, white liberal women have that handled.
yellow is the new white
Great food fight.
Democrat minorities practice the most discrimination.
What sects or Indian related caste groups are represented in the staff
Have Southern Methodists split into Southern South Asian Methodists and Southern East Asian Methodists?
I’d be curious to get John Wesley’s take on this.
And no more anchor baby birth written crap. For a child to become an American, the MOTHER MUST BE A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Americans should be required to have some AMERICAN BLOOD flowing in their veins.
“Indian academics at a Texas university conspired to”
These 3rd worlders are ALL Tribal.
America ain’t their Tribe.
They do not assimilate.
They glom onto the pieces that help to make/steal/grift wealth unto themselves.
Once they infiltrate, it becomes tribal and you’re not invited.
Since Hemang Desai from India (shown) became a 2020 full professor at SMU, its Accounting Dept is a systematic pattern of discrimination wrt tenure. Indian descent only, are at four top-tier publications, all tenured, including Indians Neil Bhattacharya in 2008 and Gauri Bhat in 2020.
In the Third World if you get a good job\economic opportunity you are expected to share it with family, clan, tribe, religion and nation. In that order! Merit is nice but not essential. It’s viewed as a foundationally moral way to operate. American HR doesn’t recognize that happens. If you complain you’re a bigot.
Universities\colleges are the most hypocritical about it.
Disapproved:
Mina Pizzini
Jing Pan

Foreigners treating other foreigners badly...
Aren't there any Americans at this TX school???
I had this explained to me once almost 50 Years ago by an Egyptian\Copt origin EE prof I had for physical electronics. He said in his cultural private sector jobs even if the money was great was not considered culturally superior to government and collegiate positions. He left Bell Labs (Still existed then!) to take his current position at a lowly state university. Now his parents could hold their head up in their cultural circles. He was NOT kidding me! (Even though he had a good sense of humor!). He took almost a 50% pay cut to make his momma proud. Americans will go to the money! He actually was a good prof too!
There are other reasons this occurs but this cultural difference does exist.
Typo
...his cultural = his culture
But I was told only whites can be racist.
