What he said was that Indian coders are the worst. That is an all-inclusive statement. With that statement there is no possibility that a single good Indian coder could possibly exist. That is an absolute statement about anyone in that profession from the Indian sub-continent. He has tarred an entire country with a single brush.
Racist -
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
From my reading - his comments pretty much fall into this description.
By itself the statement is ludicrous. I’ve had personal experience that proves it so.
I can go on for an hour on the subject because I’ve worked at two separate consulting firms that were founded by Indians. They had very different backgrounds. The first company constantly abused the Visa system bringing people here to do work that Americans could/should do (not on H1B’s by the way...) The second company moved an occasional employee between the two countries for training, and then moved them back. The American side of the company was essentially static in it’s head count the 3 years I was there. They did ship work over to India, and due to the makeup of the company employees in India there were only certain projects we would ship over. This ALL had to do with training and experience levels of the team the company had managed to create and NOTHING to do with the raw ability of anyone there.
Most of the employees in the US were VERY capable, thus another reason we kept the tougher work in the US. Oh - did I mention they were mostly Indian. Like I said earlier - I have direct personal experience that the guy’s all-encompassing statement was factually in error.

Yes, I agree it was factually in error.
But you pulled the race card and effectively called him a racist when he made no such comment.
IMO he who pulls the race card owns it.
