I had a neighbor from India and the way he talked about Indians, you could have signed him up for the KKK. Brutal. He came to America because he absolutely hated Indian business culture. Indians may be clickish in not hiring native Americans, but in India, they are clickish about not hiring from lower castes, which surprisingly still is a thing in India. Its an extremely hierarchical society that apparently is getting imported into the US in the boardroom if you believe the anecdotes. Having said that, I have worked with a number of Indians who were just fine. The smartest person I ever worked with was Indian. He was a 23 year old kid who looked like he was 14 or 15. He was in a room full of men from their late 20s through their 40s. Within a couple days, he knew more about the issues and was running circles around all of them. It was the most impressive business negotiation I ever saw.
If a company wants a soulless CEO without scruples, someone that would sell his own mother for a few bucks, then hiring an Indian makes sense in most cases.
Apparently your neighbor wasn’t lying. This article breaks it down well.
