Asian women being taken as an authority figure? Heck, anecdotally they can’t even be seen as developers. I have an Asian friend/former coworker. Anytime that we would all go to a local conference they would assume she was QA.

I have a friend who runs a team and hires according to these lines:

  - Management: Europeans
  - Coding: Russians
  - QA: Indians
He will not consider that he might be wrong here.

How successful is his team? He might be suffering from confirmation bias if he is good at interviews/choosing people.

It's not that hard to hire. Most roles don't need amazing candidates.

There is a somewhat popular, entirely legal version of that created by western companies hiring outsourcing companies for different functions.
