I know a number of Indian, primary out-sourcing, tech companies who employ folks I know as "token white guys". They are technically knowledgeable for sure, but magically there's always one token white guy presented as the project architect or tech lead during client meetings, who ends up shifting to the next project in the sales cycle without actually fulfilling the tech lead role. Not all companies do this, but enough do that it's more the norm than the exception.
