I am now retired (very recently.) In my 28 year IT career (26 years writing code) about 50% of my coworkers were Indian. I have spent many years at consulting companies.

We don't pay them any less as their white or Eastern Asian counterparts and they have the same opportunities for growth, admittedly though much of our company culture is still an old "white" boys club

We paid them much less. And why? Indians generally do not negotiate on salary the way US citizens do because (well) US citizens just take whatever job pays the most. The Indian is trying to get a Visa and takes what they get to come here and escape Slumdog Millionaire.

Consulting companies like to hire Indians because when they do, the sales people can go into the sales meeting with the client and say they can compete solely on price and work cheaper than the competition. The sales people have NO IDEA what the level or depth of expertise the Indians have. No idea at all. But they will always say "yes we can do it" without even knowing what they are agreeing to. That is because it is very easy to extort so many hours of labor (much of it free) from the Indians who submissively obey. And basically, the Indian will agree to go into the client and do the work without any information gathered in advance.

That’s some Nixon-level racism. Good work.
