I have seen that colored people are a part of diversity even if they are mixed colored whereas Indians aren't. Indians and other neighboring countries (Bangladesh, SriLanka) too have colored people. Why aren't they included in diversity? Colored people get scholarships in universities, why not South Asians and South Americans? #tech #racism #diversity #unequality #LinkedIn #PayPal #AMD #intel #goldmansachs #morganstanley #Lyft #Uber #Atlassian #airbnb #ServiceNow #Intuit #doordash #snap #nvidia #Microsoft
Indian men are overrepresented in the industry. Diversity is for underrepresented groups. Like Hispanic and black. There are fewer in industry than in society.
I agree, but I'm talking with respect to color. If Diversity is made on the basis of color then it should be equally applicable. While mixed colored people take a huge advantage than the Indians.
Also, 2% is a minority
I agree that Indian people are very well represented in the industry. My question is when Indian and Chinese could achieve that despite all biases against colored people, why others need support in hiring. Isn't it try for quick fix rather than right fix. Is this fix sustainable or will continue due to only political support?
Different groups suffer from different stereotypes and have different hurdles to overcome.
True but that actually don't make any point. Different people or sub group within same group also face different hurdles. For example, Dalits from India. If we follow that argument, it won't end anywhere and not scalable. Biases for early Asian migrants were similar. Those are still racially abused even after being successful.
I believe the issue is mistaking diversity = colored/brown, when diversity is for groups that aren't represented well, meaning some groups of color, women, LGBTQ, etc...
Indians are Caucasian atleast the upper castes since their ancestors migrated from middle and Eastern Europe
Also if you're using the term "colored"...stop
Diversity concept is fundamentally broken and badly politicized
