Also should mention these companies are openly tolerated by the government for their extreme racist hiring policy, violating every conceivable US law, hiring upwards of 98% Indian race only in the United States. But it's alright because it's just "engineers" not important people, right?

Cheaper & it looks better to get an indentured servant from India to fulfill a contract than an American, causing requirement inflation and wage stagnation for everyone involved.

Racism is defined academically as 'privilege + power,' so if you say "I am an Indian and will only hire Indians," that has historically been just fine. This definition is interpreted as "you need to be White to be racist." Diversity is mostly just defined as "not White," so majority Indian, Black, etc. companies, are "diverse," they exist, and no one goes after them. This is why you have those majority-xyz-race companies, but Apple's chief of diversity was fired for saying Whites can also be diverse if they come from diverse backgrounds.

  Yeah a completely bankrupt concept. Rascism occurs to all sorts and types in all conditions.

  If you are an employer such as Tech Mahindra or Tata and only considering Indians for a job, do you not wield power?

    Yes, of course. That's why everyone should be treated as equals regardless of race, gender, religion, etc. This convoluted system of privilege is concerning. Consider a poor White born into an abusive family, in a rural area, with no inheritance. This qualifies as "privileged" under current dogma. They pretend like these kinds of people don't exist. It's more of a class war being disguised as a race war.

  'This definition is interpreted as "you need to be White to be racist."' I'm pretty sure that's not true from a legal standpoint and is therefore only your opinion.

    It's my opinion that it is interpreted that way all over Silicon Valley as well as in the US legal system. Ok shrug, it's an opinion that appears to be relevant to the topic.
