No, I am the embodiment of logic and reason in a world where nepotism reigns. Except the nepotism isn't derived from hereditary privilege or income; it is derived from a particularly virulent philosophy that is not rooted in reality.

Also, I am an Indian-American male, second generation.

Please don't speak for me when you have no idea how it feels to be a minority in the US. I'm not some mascot you can parade around to make yourself feel justified in your flawed philosophy and ideals.

Would you work at a company where your boss doesn't think Indians should be allowed to marry?

Despite donating to campaigns to outlaw it, he promises it won't affect your job.

I already work at a company (a "major one" like the Narrator of Fight Club references) where someone like me shouldn't marry a white woman (or even an Asian one for that matter).

That doesn't stop me from achieving my goals. [0]
