This research is based on personal experiences of the author as well as other people who have been in similar situations. Indian bosses tend to favor the white staff and mistreat their Indian and Black counterparts because of their skin colour, claims the portal. Indian bosses tend to have a double standard for their white staff in comparison to Indian and Black staff. This research is based on personal experiences of the author as well as other people who have been in similar situations. Indian bosses tend to favor the white staff and mistreat their Indian and Black counterparts because of their skin colour. This research blames Indian bosses on having an inferiority complex. They will not ever dare to say any thing to white staff. For example, if a white staff walks into the office late or even leaves early it would not be a problem but if an Indian or Black staff does the same then action is taken immediately. This may even include shouting in front of the entire office as though one were at school. Indian bosses also expect Asian and Black staff to work twice harder and spend longer hours in order to prove themselves but a promotion for the white staff is fast tracked so long as the white staffs are willing to have lunch with them especially females. This situation is even worse in the medical profession where Indian doctor and Asian nursing staff give more importance and priority to white patients compare to Asian and Black patients. When a white patient arrives in the surgery then the doctor will personally attend and greet them. He will spend reasonable time to do all the checks in a prescribed manner showing off his customer service skills. On the other hand, when Black and Asian patients walk into a GP’s surgery then they are treated like second class citizens by Indian doctors or nurses. Another example of double standards is in an interview situation. If the interviewer is Indian, chances of securing employment is very slim for an Asian employee in comparison to a white employer. Asian bosses also fear from their white bosses in selecting an Asian employee. They will be more worried as to what their white boss will think of them. Finally, the classic example would have to be Indian working in customer service in United Kingdom. Asians show off their customer service skills when serving a white customer. They will behave politely with a huge smile on their face; they will also use their sense of humor when dealing with the white customers treating white customers with the uppermost superiority. With Asians and Black customers their attitude is altogether different. There will be a change in their tone, their smiley face will become serious and their attitude completely arrogant. They will utilize this moment as showing off their authoritative powers on people of the same race and colour. In addition, white people do not laugh at non English people's poor or broken English or their accent when it comes down to communicating with them but Indians will be the first to laugh at other people's poor English or their accent. They will not even spare their own parents. Indian bosses will only treat Asian staff nicely if they are related to them or if they have some kind of social pressure on them. During this search 100 Indian jobseekers have been contacted and 80% of them prefer reporting to a white boss or a Black boss compared to an Asian boss. This shows the seriousness about this issue. Indian bosses take Asian staff for granted and try to bully them instead to making good relations with them and utilizing talent when they come across it. Note: Asians means here Indian, Pakistanis, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and British Indians.
