Yeah I imagine so. That’s a very different scenario and it wouldn’t make sense to ignore a specific group. Getting cold calls from recruiters on LinkedIn is a very different scenario from that and I wouldn’t expect my situation to apply there at all.
- Comment on In honor of the start spooky season (yay!), I have a question about an apparently beloved spooky meme/skit. What about "David S. Pumpkins" is so funny? 1 day ago:
It really varies on the comic. Some drag shit out some don’t. I can’t stand most of Jim Gaffigan’s stuff because he does that shit ad nauseum.

It’s one of my favorite movies out of all. The visuals are fantastic and I really enjoy the story.

The Fall and The Fountain are both excellent visuals and good stories. SuckerPunch is great visuals but it is more niche on whether people enjoy the story.

I didn’t move any goal posts.
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism
a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
You are talking about prejudice. It’s not the same as racism even though SOME prejudice is based in racism. I have a prejudice based on anecdotal experiences that causes me to avoid Indian names for recruiting unless they are attached to a company I am familiar with and consider a good company.
That’s got nothing to do with any beliefs about their race and everything to do with believing that companies seeking to abuse me have a pattern of hiring Indians.
All that said, you mentioned you are Indian. If you feel this is racist still, then I’m sorry because I really don’t intend that. I truly have no ill will to you, or any others of your race, but whether that’s perceived or not may be a failing on my part somehow whether through poor wording or not being able to see your point of view enough to satisfy you. So i am sorry if this sounded racist. I won’t qualify or equivocate anything further since I’ve endeavored to explain myself to the best of my ability.

Agreed, most are cancer.

Racism implies an opinion of superiority based on race. We both filter based on race because of a systemic issue that overwhelming relies on Indian nationals, not a racial issue. I have no problem with indian recruiters from know good companies. If it were racism that wouldn’t be the case. Using the “slippery slope” as some sort of moral justification to it is just a logical fallacy. Do whatever makes you feel better about it though I guess.

I have a simple rule that’s worked out really well for me to avoid getting recruiters like that. If their name is foreign, I don’t answer. To be clear, this isn’t me “doing a racism”. If they are from a company I’ve worked with and know to be good I’ll still pick up. But generally if they have an Indian name, they are part of a resume farm and not paying any attention. I’ve also started seeing ones from Africa this year that caught me off guard. Tried to talk to a couple before I realized what was going on amd stopped answering any of them. What’s really great is when they use the exact same introduction message.

A good HR prescreen asks more about the fitment/personality of the person. I still think that should be up to the hiring manager because too many HR depts suffer from dunning-kruger and have too much power for a generally way too petty group of people.
- Comment on Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?" 4 days ago:
Ehhh food preparation more than cooking. You’re just assembling things. I’m a pro at a good sandwich if I do say so myself. Sometimes I have to cook to make that happen. But a basic sandwich…nah, no cooking involved.
