In academic admissions, you're probably right. In tech hiring, I have seen it firsthand, on multiple occasions.

How hard is it to read publicly stated policies of large companies affirming my point? Here is one:

I honestly encourage you to find one policy in the US that prefers rich Indians.

Meanwhile, you should also consider looking up what an anecdote means.

Well, if we take each other's experiences at face value, then we would conclude that some places are doing exactly as I claimed.

I'm not sure what your point is, aside from implying that we should take public corporate statements at face value.
