“The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) filed a federal lawsuit today under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 … against Cisco Systems, Inc. (Cisco) and two managers for discrimination, harassment, and retaliation,” said a June 30 press release. The press release continued:

The lawsuit alleges that managers at Cisco’s San Jose headquarters campus, which employs a predominantly South Asian workforce, harassed, discriminated, and retaliated against an engineer because he is Dalit Indian, a population once known as the “untouchables” under India’s centuries-old caste system.

The lawsuit alleges that Complainant was expected to accept a caste hierarchy within the workplace where he held the lowest status within a team of higher-caste colleagues, receiving less pay, fewer opportunities, and other inferior terms and conditions of employment because of his religion, ancestry, national origin/ethnicity, and race/color.

...

The caste culture is now being brought into U.S. workplaces by Fortune 500 executives who allow Indian-born lower managers to act as ethnic power brokers in exchange for meeting corporate deadlines and payroll targets.

Fortune 500 companies and their subcontractors use the H-1B, L-1, OPT, CPT, and TN pipelines to employ at least 1.3 million visa workers, most of whom are Indian. Many of the Indians are training in the U.S. to take Americans’ jobs back to India, and many others are working in exchange for the promise of employer-provided green cards.

The legal workforce also works alongside a growing illegal population of foreign college-graduate workers, most of whom get jobs as gig workers for a large number of Indian-run companies that work as legal subcontractors for Fortune 500 companies.

This corporate collusion with Inda’s caste system — and the associated job selling, kickbacks, and cheating — has pushed millions of American graduates out of Fortune 500 jobs, is wrecking American-style professionalism, and is undermining needed innovation.
