If I talk about some white man I hired, and I said he sucked, that is also racism?

It is if you specifically mentioned that he’s white, yes. The problem is that you’re openly stating your biases as being important to the story. However your biases are exactly that, biased. You don’t know if they’re relevant or not, but you feel it necessary to say anyway. That’s prime prejudice. You don’t know their education, history, family life, economic situation, or any number of other factors that could come in to play. But you assign importance and blame to the fact they’re Indian. Racist.

But you skipped over 100 other qualities they shared and instantly focused on their race. The fact that you don’t even realize your bias is what makes is so pervasive. You don’t even realize you did it, and here you are arguing that you’re not responsible.

Yes you should say that person you hired sucked or did not meet your expectations for the job.

Not all information is cleared away, the information pertinent to the performance of the job remains, which should be the only information that matters when the topic of discussion is someone’s job performance.

Unless, that is, you’ve met and tested the performance of every white guy available to you. Otherwise you’re painting people with the same brush. X type of people are Y is racist thinking.

“Gross Incompetence of specifically Indian Immigrants

He says:

No offence… but they are just so stupid

Also

I also lead a team offshore in India and work with many of them

It’s not “just this one guy” - he’s painting ALL Indian immigrants (plural) based on his experience with this ONE guy, and the offshore team he has worked with.
