Who the biased algorithms are written by are pretty irrelevant. The argument is they are biased against anyone who is not a white male, and that we should be aware of that.

The article has a hypothesis right in the headline: "algorithmic bias is a result of the insular, mostly white tech industry". So no, if it was written by an entirely Indian staff at an Indian outsourcing company, that would discredit the idea.
