Ahh yes riccitiello, a fine Indian name if ever I heard one. Fuck outta here with your racial observations.
Elon, a famous Indian CEO
Wow he is 100% Indian it’s such a coincidence!
To be fair, you wouldn't guess his African descent at first glance.
I said most companies. Google, microsoft, etc.
So two? I can think of way more shitty tech companies without Indian CEOs than with.
Amazon, Twitter, Reddit, Bandcamp, Facebook, Unity, EA, Tumblr, Activision-Blizzard, Spotify, AirBnB, Uber, Snapchat, Netflix, Zoom, Bytedance, Hulu, Tinder, Epic, FTX, Apple, Tencent, Verizon, Cloudflare.
I'm honestly having trouble thinking of any other companies than Google and Microsoft. Very much not "most".
My bad. I wasn't meaning to be racist.
Average itjustworks user. Be really racist then feign ignorance. Fucking cryptofash instance.

You were racist without meaning to be. Which makes you a racist, still.
My apologies
Proceeds to say something completely, like pre WW2 level, racist
I’d assume it’s because there’s probably a lot of Indians at tech companies in general. Personally I’ve seen alot in tech jobs, but also one random statistic I saw said 1/3 of all software engineers and 10% of tech company CEOs are of Indian origin, so it’s a fairly significant number.
