I don't particularly mind Indians. Curry is delicious and my favorite place for lunch is an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet. Absolutely fantastic curry goat, as much as I want. Plus, even for the workers whose skill level could generously be called "subpar," they are, anecdotally by my experience, pretty hard workers overall.
That being said, at my past two jobs, the organizational update e-mails about new hires and lateral moves in upper management are a who's who of practically unpronouncable Indian names. Plus, new hires in the rank and file (specifically in IT) seem at least 50% likely to be Indian as much as all other races combined.
They are definitely extremely biased towards other Indians for hiring. As far as castes, I couldn't say. Never asked any of my Indian coworkers if they were Brahman or untouchable or whatever.
Curry and other "ethnic" food isn't magic, mayo demons can make it too. Best vindaloo I've ever had was made by my very Slavic friend.
Being "subpar" and "hard worker" isn't a good thing. Subpar people cause issues which then have to be fixed by someone better, and the harder they work, the more time someone else has to spend doing the needful instead of being productive.
I love eastern food, but that being said, throwing two tablespoons of everything in your spice rack into a sauce isn't exactly rocket science and certainly isn't inherently better than western food. The whole, "hurr white people food no have spice" is such a shit take that's only showing that someone hasn't ever had decent food. They've never had a good Mornay sauce and think the world is made of cheese whiz.
