In the video, the man said that before doing the personal experiment he had applied for hundreds of roles but did not get success. “I applied for 300 jobs, not a single call back, nothing,” he said.
Frustrated by the lack of response, he decided to test whether his name was affecting his chances. He created a modified version of his resume, changing only the key identifiers. According to his account, he used the commonly used Indian surname ‘Singh’, while keeping the rest of his usage mostly the same.
He said: “Decided to create a fake CV and change his last name to ‘Singh’, different email address, different job qualifications, but all on the same line, everything the same.”
He claimed that the results were immediate. Within a day of submitting the revised application, he started receiving responses from employers. “I got three emails in 24 hours.”
The video went viral, especially amid the recent debate in the United States, where MAGA supporters have claimed that foreigners, especially Indians, are replacing Americans in their jobs. Conservative “America First” proponents argue that this is due to overuse of H-1B visas and the perception that Indian workers are willing to work for lower wages than the average American. They claim that employers prefer to hire such workers as cheap labor, and tailor job openings and hiring practices accordingly.
Social Media Reactions:
- Another episode of something that never happened
- He needs to get a lawyer and take those companies to court. Only this will force them to change their ways.
- You don’t understand..Ethnic groups live together and rent their own..
- The H1B attack, combined with the DEI programs of the 2010s, was a decap attack against middle class/household head/single family Americans.
- Well, who owns and runs these companies? If they are predominantly white owned and operated, that would technically mean that white people are discriminating against other white people, right?
