Weird, I've had the opposite experience. The vast majority are Asian, and most of those are of Indian descent. I would say about 30% of the candidates we get are white and many of those are European.


I was going to say this too. In my new team 4 out of 9 are European and its the highest proportion I've ever worked with.


It's interesting seeing "European" as a class of people. There are 44 sovereign countries in Europe and being just bundled together feels super weird for me. It's like there is no distinction between Germans and Greeks while these are two totally different cultures with different cultural norms.


True. Also for India and "Asia". It's almost as if generalising falls flat when you're actually trying to understand people ;)
