or possibly Indians didn't get the diversity memo and are more likely to hire other Indians than the analogous instinct in white managers?

It's odd that the suit alleges that white people are discriminated against relative to Indians yet those that are hired are paid more.

More often than not you will find opposite to be true.
Opposite of which?
Indians treating other Indians favorably. In most cases I found they are more harsh than to other people. In general I have found Indian and Chinese to be much more harsh.
Harsh in personal interactions perhaps. People generally feel free to be blunter with close people relative to strangers. The issue here is hiring practices
It's all about the H1Bs. Oracle wants cheap labor and Asians (Indians) are statistically more likely to be H1B than non-Asians. Thus the higher aggregate salaries for whites (likelihood to be H1B is minuscule).
