Looking at levels of corruption in India, this 'takeover' is not a good thing for America.

The weird thing is that nobody from HR seemed to find it strange, like maybe telling managers that they should not prefer hiring from their own ethnic group - nobody seemed to care.
Many western European ethnic groups are largely unwilling to act like this, i.e. to act on strong in-group preference when hiring. So the most interesting aspect of the status quo is about second-order effects. Will it be stopped somehow? Will it lead other groups to start behaving similarly? Will it lead to an Ottoman-style millet system but adapted to corporate culture and needs in the 21st century west?
The Indian on Indian war is inevitable. How do you think they got hired in the first place? Some white executive beat another white executive by cutting costs by offshoring.
The investor stopped the CEO and was like, "Why are they all Indian?".
It's just that, in the USA at least, white people have been guilted for years into specifically not doing that. I suspect the same would happen to any majority, with time, but we'll see.
I agree about the natural tendency, the call of the "tribe" (ethnic group, common language, etc.) is there for all kinds of people, more or less. But there is a difference, and I'm talking about frequency distributions of behaviors, not naive black and white: some groups of people are aware of these tendencies, and they act purposefully and conscientiously to counteract them; other groups, well, it's hard to tell whether they are aware of these tendencies or not, but what is certain is that they don't practice any countermeasure to a natural bias.
Now, for some ethnic groups or nations, it is quite forbidden to talk about any kind of "tribal" behavior that they exhibit. But if within Facebook or Google or Netflix or whatever there was a team led by a Bulgarian citizen with all Bulgarian members, some complaints about the oddity of the situation, I am sure, would be heard.
