I've seen this at a large semiconductor company I used to work in. But to be fair, it was the same for many Chinese managers as well.

The weird thing is that nobody from HR seemed to find it strange, like maybe telling managers that they should not prefer hiring from their own ethnic group - nobody seemed to care.

I saw this behavior at a bank I used to work for. There was a Chinese team, an Indian team, a Korean team, a Russian team, etc.

Many western European ethnic groups are largely unwilling to act like this, i.e. to act on strong in-group preference when hiring. So the most interesting aspect of the status quo is about second-order effects. Will it be stopped somehow? Will it lead other groups to start behaving similarly? Will it lead to an Ottoman-style millet system but adapted to corporate culture and needs in the 21st century west?

I'm curious whether this will continue into the second generation (as people begin to naturalize), and especially how multi-ethnic people are treated by in-group preferences.

I doubt it. If they only hire themselves, eventually they will have to compete with each other. That’s when the gloves come off and they’ll hire whoever to beat the other Indian.

The Indian on Indian war is inevitable. How do you think they got hired in the first place? Some white executive beat another white executive by cutting costs by offshoring.
