My experience with Indian people is that deodorant isn't really a thing. I have worked with some Indians that use it -- but the overwhelming majority did not. Also...depending on the diet (garlic, cumin, curry, etc etc etc) -- some of them just had really strong odors of food. Not necessarily a bad thing -- but not what I want to smell at 8am either.
You sir would be sued ina heartbeat
...Instead -- you disqualify them for other, unrelated reasons
Personally -- I dislike working with Indian people in my industry. Again, overwhelming majority have an incredibly arrogant and entitled attitude. Granted, they generally have more degrees than me -- but they say dumb shit like -- "You can't possibly be an engineer if you don't at least have a Masters" -- But then when they get their masters compared to accredited schools in the US -- their masters are generally considered equivalent to a bachelors.
I have had similar experiences with Eastern Asians -- but they make up such a small percentage when compared to others. My experience with pharma is that :
-White men hold "intellectual positions" [typically all of the process, equipment, validation, maintenance engineers] and "leadership" positions [CEOs, plant managers, dept heads]
-White women hold the "administrative" positions [working in the office]
-Black men are overwhelmingly in the "general labor" positions - working on the production line, the warehouses, and equipment operators
-Black women hold the "floor supervisor" positions
-Hispanic men are not really visible except on the construction crews when sites are built or expand
-Hispanic women are sprinkled throughout in technical positions...but not leadership
-Asian men are not really visible (I think I know 2-3 in my 10+ year career and over multiple sites)
-Asian women are concentrated in the chemistry labs...but a few are in the micro labs
-Indians specifically (men and women) are generally allllllll throughout the IT dept and automation dept...or in project management positions
If I break down my current company, it's probably close:
-White men (5%)
-White women (4%)
-Black men (60%)
-Black women (15%)
-Hispanic men (2%)
-Hispanic women (5%)
-Asian men (1%)
-Asian women (3%)
-Indians (5%)
I have a saying that I use often when meeting new people at plants. "All pharma sites are the same...just different". It means -- the different sites operate very similarly...and the same positions/depts attract the same personality types...I wonder why that is?
