> Or in case of Europe in an international company a team decides to hire only people that speak german / russian / french even when the interaction with other teams is obviously just in english.

You're clearly conflating ethnicity with language.

1/ Just because people talk the same language doesn't mean they have the same ethnicity.

ex: French is spoken as a native language on every continent.

2/ Just because people have allegedly the same ethnicity, doesn't mean they share the same language or even culture.

ex: All black people living in Africa do not share the same culture, yet Americans reduce black people to a single ethnic group.

> Well the US definition of diverse is much more picky about what diverse means.

Yes, in US the definition of "diverse" is politically loaded, implying you subscribe to a specific partisan ideology. It's so loaded that you can't talk about diversity as "diversity of opinion", it has to be racial

I am not conflating anything. I have had a very similar experience in EU and Singapore and while the case of Singapore is ethnic preference in EU it's about the language even if the working language is english.

They are the different sides of the same coin.

Are you complaining that people in Europe talk their native language instead of English and that a company located somewhere prefers hiring locally? Whether a company is international or not is irrelevant.

You are certainly implying that 2 distinct situations are equivalent and it's "a problem" for you. I don't see where the problem is, personally.

Now if you have witnessed specific instances of racism or racial discrimination at work or during the hiring process, then you should report it to HR or the proper local authorities.

You have an international company located in Europe where daily business is conducted using english. There are naturally diverse teams with people from different countries (as is the case in Europe) and then there's one team where a hungarian manager decides to hire only hungarians.

You dont find this to be problematic in any way?

The same applies to Singapore where the pool of candidates is large and diverse but a certain for example indian manager decides to hire only indians.
