Corporations are trying, and now failing, to hide job openings from US citizens

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but there was a very brief and small wave of articles perhaps a few years back claiming a lot of Indians in the US were still facing caste-based discrimination (by skin color, name or something else, I'm not sure) by other Indian managers and execs.

Newsom vetoed the ban [1]. A pair of professors are having a bad time trying to got CSU’s ban on caste-based discrimination thrown out on the grounds of being religiously discriminatory [2].

Newsom vetoed the ban [1]

From that article:

In a statement explaining his veto decision, Newsom said the measure was “unnecessary” because discrimination based on caste is already prohibited in the state.

(Just adding context that I would have missed if not for another commenter pointing it out further down)

For whatever it's worth, that's been a consistent trend with other things Newsom has vetoed with statements that he considers the vetoed item to be already covered by other laws, including some purely technical legislative things. I think it's likely that he sees himself as trying to keep California bureaucracy from growing indefinitely, especially with his push for things like CEQA process reduction/simplification.

It’s capital, political and financial. Everything costs, got to pay for gerrymandering somehow.

Vetoing costs. More than half the legislature voted for it.

It can win you a few friends but you lose more.

Those articles based on a lawsuit were very heavily promoted on HN, however the complaint was by a single disgruntled employee who just happened to invoke the caste card and the suit was thrown out by the court.

The California DoJ failed to do basic due diligence before filing the lawsuit to the extent that the defendants filed a civil suit saying they were being discriminated against because of their race by the CA DoJ. Of course, these followups never got any traction on HN, because they didn't fit the narrative.

And now there are so many people, especially on HN and other developer forums that are utterly convinced caste based discrimination is very prevalent.

What do you think the intersection between HN and Blind is?

I honestly don't know, you tell me? If you're trying to get at something, just say it instead of playing 20 questions.

In the end nothing came of those allegations. There was no evidence of it. Lawmakers, who seem to have an anti Indian bias, pushed legislation banning something that wasn’t happening. It seemed to really just be a way to harass Indians or their religion, which is why it got vetoed I think.

Does caste discrimination still exist in India?

If yes, what leads you to believe that all first gen immigrants from India to the US magically stop doing it?
