Noticeable in our hiring pipeline across iOS/C#/Java stacks.

Used to be a pretty diverse mix across Asian and Eastern European candidates, with a rare white US person mixed in.

Now it is pre-dominantly Indian.

Really don't like single-ethnic teams, so hiring is getting even more challenging in the Bay Area. We've also opened dev centers in the US mid-west and Canada to help with this.

maybe because native americans would be the term and your question sounds purposefully obtuse and perhaps even discriminatory?

just a guess.

I would have interpreted his question as whether they were East Indians with US citizenship or not.

Also, I believe First Nations tends to be the preferred term over indigenous, aboriginal, or native american.

I've only heard First Nations used in the context of Canada - Native American I believe is still the preferred term in the United States.
