I'm Indian. Now I was born in America, raised here, and more than one of my ex-girlfriends has told me "You're not Indian" or "You're not culturally Indian."

I currently work with some amazing (cultural) Indian developers. They know their shit, they're easy to work with and they're sticklers for well designed stuff with little technical debt. I've worked with some Indians who were utterly incompetent developers and I was surprised how they made it through University.

Same with Chinese people (both in American and in Australia -- some were amazing, a few were terrible).

It sounds like you work at a shit company. It probably has shit managers who hire the wrong people. It has little or nothing to do with their ethnicity or cultural heritage.

Go work somewhere else. Stop blaming an entire race and/or culture for your personal bias.
