Most of these companies have one thing in common: indian CEOs. Not meaning to be racist, but it's not a mere coincidence.
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".
You know what's even more common amongst CEOs than being Indian? Using capitalism to organize and run the business.
It's not indian CEOs, you utter numpty. It's basic greed.
My bad. I wasn't meaning to be racist.
Average itjustworks user. Be really racist then feign ignorance. Fucking cryptofash instance.
Isn't it "racist" to categorize an entire group of people from an instance as cryptofash? The irony lol.

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.
