This seems like a management fuck-up. It's kind of funny because indian outsourcing companies like Infosys, TCS, etc. have often been accused of hiring a disproportionately high percentage of South Asians and Indians within the United States. In fact, this same company named here (Infosys) has also been earlier accused of favouring asians and not hiring "stupid Americans" - https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/08/indian-it-firm-accused-of-discrimination-against-stupid-americans/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/08/india... ... Looks like Infy management wanted to fix this problem (or at least appear to do so) and add more diversity but fell foul of US laws by explicitly communicating their desires to HR.
