I’m Indian American. And this tired “muh nepotism” stereotype is wildly inaccurate on two points:
One, Indian nepotism works like nepotism does for every other group: you help out your family. We don’t have a broader racial consciousness and I honestly think that Westerners are just projecting their own racial issues on us here and/or trying to make up excuses for why we do well despite having everything stacked against us.
Two, Indians generally hold higher standards for other Indian people than they do for non-Indian people. I work in tech. Every time I have a job interview I pray that the interviewer isn’t Indian so I actually get a fair shot. I have never passed throug a technical screening run by an Indian interviewer. Conversely I have never not passed through one run by a non-Indian interviewer.
