Ironically, the job ad was posted by someone in India.

It looks like the line that was included in the job posting was not meant to be published, but was an instruction for the recruiter:

“U.S. Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates],”

If the company hadn't been too cheap to hire local, US born, white, racist citizens to handle the job posting, they might have been able to continue being scummy without anyone being able to prove it.

Based if the guy in India deliberately accidentally included that bit.

Yeah, but I wouldn't expect some guy in India to be in a position to intentionally fuck over his employer no matter how much they want to.

I worked at cricket when I was younger and the outsourced customer service was terrible. They would not only hang up on customers but they would hang up on employees and managers too. My only point is that they very well could be in the position to not give any fucks.

Outsourcing is intentionally low-supervision.

There are multiple “consulting” agencies in the US that have gotten in trouble for not hiring anyone aside from south Asians. If this job was posted by someone in India, there is probably a non-zero chance they were hiring this “white” only person because they were trying to offset the fact that they only hire south Asians otherwise.
