Funnily enough it's almost the opposite in the rest of the USA. Indians in general have a very bad rep in tech because of the cheap offshore tech companies and the tons of low wage H1B tech workers that certain headhunting shops flock around. I've certainly seen some very senior and talented Indians in Tech, but you're more likely to run into the untalented hacks than one of the relatively rare talented ones. I've very rarely met an Indian programmer that wasn't either very good or very bad. To a certain extent you get the same thing no matter the race, but the strange duality of Indians (they're almost all either really really good or really really bad) makes it particularly stand out in their case.
