I was in a rating sync once and noticed some very strange crab bucket behavior that only came from more sr Indian managers and engineers with regards to another jr Indian-origin teammate who never even lived in India AFAIK. The fact that the negative detractors were only Indian, and everyone else was positive about the person made me connect the possibility that maybe there was something going on that I couldn't tell culturally.

I never saw this negative behavior out in our day to day, so it surprised me. This might be how the discrimination happens.

Yeah, that’s why I make it a point not to join a company with any Indians in it. I was born in America, but they insist on playing their weird Hindu mind games and politics with me. If there’s an Indian on the prospective team or on the interview panel, I end the interview right there. The risk is just too much that it will be an unfun place to work at.

It’s also why I’ve had to cut off contact with most if not all of my family who are of Indian origin. They play strange political games that I have no interest in participating. At the end of the day humans are tribal and it is this aspect which makes me hate a lot of people.
