In the video, the man said he had applied for hundreds of positions without success before conducting his personal experiment. “I applied for 300 positions, not a single call back, nothing,” he said.
Frustrated by the lack of response, he decided to test whether his name would hurt his chances. He created a modified version of the resume, changing only the key identifiers. According to him, he used the common Indian surname “Singh” while the rest of the application was largely similar.
“The decision was made to create a fake resume and change my last name to ‘Singh,’ different email address, different job qualifications but all on the same line, everything was the same,” he said.
He claims the results were immediate. Within a day of submitting his revised application, he started hearing back from employers. “I got three emails in 24 hours.”
The video went viral, especially during a recent debate in the United States, where MAGA supporters claimed that foreigners, especially Indians, were taking American jobs. Conservative “America First” advocates believe this is happening due to overuse of H-1B visas and the perception that Indian workers are willing to work for lower wages than the average American. Employers, they claim, prefer to hire such workers as cheap labor and structure job openings and recruitment practices accordingly.
Social media reaction:
- Another episode of something that never happened
- He needs to hire a lawyer and take the companies to court. Only this will force them to change their ways.
- You don’t understand.. racial groups band together and hire their own..
- The H1B attacks, combined with the DEI programs of the 2010s, were a complete blow to the American middle class/head of household/nuclear family.
- So, who owns and operates these companies? If they are primarily owned and operated by white people, then that technically means white people discriminate against other white people, right?
