This has been documented well in the German job market with very solid reasearch backing it. with that being said sensationalism and victim complex is a thing

This has been documented well in the German job market with very solid reasearch backing it. with that being said sensationalism and victim complex is a thing in Muslim / arab culture (I come from one), so finding made up stories about racism is possible

That works both ways, I know of Indian developers who only hire other indians, or east Asians who stick together. In Canada it’s a normal thing, Toronto is a big city divided into a ton of ethnic neighbourhoods (there’s a little x for every mini culture or ethnicity). This has a side effect of ethnic groups sticking together at work, where language, culture, religion, etc are similar. And it also doesn’t mean economic exclusion either. In places like Brampton the highest income bracket by religion is Hindu #1, then Jews, atheists, and Christians.

  This should be frowned upon and targeted not praised or condoned. This reinforces ghettoization and propagation of ethnocentric worldviews with all the vices of this ideology from prejudice, xenophobia, you name it.

    Meh, Toronto is a vibrant multi-cultural place where everyone is accepted, we don't many race-obsessed issues like the US. Not sure where you're getting 'ghettoization' and 'xenophobia' from this.

  Yes that should also be addressed and fixed, in Germany for example in many cities there is a requirement for housing of all income levels in the same neighborhood, which leads to the ability for new comers (can be with low income) to mix and live in the same neighborhood. In France and Sweden it wasn't the case, most non Europeans were living in suburbs and out of sight, this lead to integration issue down the road as we see currently in both countries. Finally, Indian favoritism / discrimination in IT jobs in north America is a very specific topic that should be addressed, but it's not as large as institutionalized white racism that is much broader and well studied and affect more sectors in life including governmental services.
