I was applying everywhere. I am only mentioning the places I actually got an interview. God knows how many didn't invite me in on that basis. These were all established companies however. I glanced around the room and all of them are Indian. I don't care what race a person is. But if you go into a job interview and everybody has blue hair. You would say to yourself God, They only hire blue haired people. I have brown hair I guess I won't be getting the job. This is not a sampling of one company. It's seven I managed to get into interview.

Well you have to do the scientific method and do a bigger survey and work on the hypothesis. I am curious are there people out there with similar findings?
