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.

maybe he's not talking about native americans, but trying to distinguish between people of indian descent who grew up in the US vs people who grew up in india and then moved to the US for study/work opportunities.
