- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI don't think that's an equivalent substitution. Indian Americans are by a huge margin the richest demographic group in the country, and black Americans are by a significant margin the poorest.
- mighty_mighty 6y agoso being racist against Indians is right because they are a rich demography ? I applaud your logic here.
- jmpman 6y agoIf employment was a representative percentage of the US, then you’d expect 1.3% of the employees to be Indian. He’s identifying that Indians are over represented by almost 76x. Let’s say that the company is made up of 100 engineers. In order to get 100 Indian engineers randomly, the odds are much worse than 3720 to 1. It implies immense discrimination by the employers which is systemic.
- DarmokJalad1701 6y agoIs only 1.3% of prospective qualified candidates Indian? Using statistics from the general population is not relevant here.
- jmpman 6y agoOk, let’s say qualified candidates are 50% Indian. If 100 of the employees are Indian, what is the probability of that being a random coincidence? (.5)^100? I see this throughout industry. Even if the qualified candidates are 75% Indian, and a team of 10 is 100% Indian, what’s the probability that’s a coincidence?
