Seattle could become the first city to ban caste discrimination
I have worked in the Seattle tech scene since 1997 and sex and caste discrimination is rampant in the Indian tech community. I only know this 2nd and third hand as I am the stereotypical cis male white guy.The biggest one to me is the sex discrimination across dev and qa, with a women making up the vast majority of qa even though they graduated with the same degrees as the men from the same Indian universities.Even Indian men that I respected on multiple levels, when they get on an interview with a women they are overly harsh in ways they were not with men.  So much so that I stopped interviewing all together. I reported to HR and they of course didn't know how to handle it. It really makes me sad.I try to talk to my Indian colleagues about this and they stay extremely tight lipped about this for a multitude of reasons. I applaud this action. This shit has to stop, leave it in India, America is better than this.Discrimination is fractal. All interview should be truly double-blind.https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-term...
