The Silicon Valley's biggest newspaper reports:
Hoseong Ryu’s trouble at Intel started even before he began working there, he claimed in a lawsuit filed this week.It is now the case that most of the Silicon Valley engineers are foreign born.
Ryu, 45, applied in 2014 for a software engineering job at Intel, and was interviewed by a three-man panel, according to his lawsuit filed in Northern California U.S. District Court. One interviewer at the Santa Clara semiconductor giant was originally from India, and he had a question for Ryu, the suit claimed.
“I see you are from Korea,” the man allegedly said. “I know a Korean man named Sung Won Bin. Do you happen to know him?”
After the meeting, the man told a fellow interviewer that Intel shouldn’t hire Ryu because he was “Korean, married, and had a child,” and added, “It would be easier to hire a younger, unmarried Indian man,” the suit alleged.
Still, Intel hired Ryu onto its system integration team, where he found “the demographics of the worksite and its management have been heavily skewed toward employees from India or people of Indian or south-Asian descent,” the suit claimed.
One manager in his team, of Indian origin, “openly favored the hiring and promotion of only employees from India, stating that ‘Indians work hard’ and ‘Indians are harder workers,'” the suit alleged. That manager also encouraged a supervisor to hire only Indian employees, the suit filed Wednesday claimed.

Dear Christian Roger,
>> "Our big tech firms have outsourced their engineering work to foreigners, just to save a few nickels."
Why shouldn't they save the nickels, if they can?
>> "“I see you are from Korea,” the man allegedly said. “I know a Korean man named Sung Won Bin. Do you happen to know him?”"
Yes, this is as despicable as these idiots actually get, when they see money. Mostly Brahmin-caste-borns. More often than not, from the Southern states. Esp. Andhra Pradesh (otherwise infested with Communists). "Bangalore" is a euphemism, skillfully employed.
>> "“It would be easier to hire a younger, unmarried Indian man,” the suit alleged."
Good job in reporting.
>> "Still, Intel hired Ryu onto its system integration team, where he found “the demographics of the worksite and its management have been heavily skewed toward employees from India or people of Indian or south-Asian descent,” the suit claimed."
As if nothing of it had to do with talent, and everything to do with the fact of Christianity in South Korea.
>> "One manager in his team, of Indian origin, “openly favored the hiring and promotion of only employees from India, stating that ‘Indians work hard’ and ‘Indians are harder workers,'” the suit alleged."
I have heard that argument again and again. I have gone jobless for 8+ years while HR Managers in India in IT industry made millions. I can't reconcile the two facts, namely, that I am intelligent and work hard, and I go jobless for years.
>> "It is now the case that most of the Silicon Valley engineers are foreign born."
If that's the case for you personally, you score a notch below your usual one, in my scheme of things, Roger!
Best,
