A San Jose information-technology company reliant on the controversial H-1B visa, and which trumpets its commitment to diversity, has agreed to pay $171,000 to resolve claims that it discriminated against white job applicants in favor of workers of Indian descent.

The U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release Tuesday that its settlement with Mphasis, whose parent company is headquartered in India, followed a finding from a “routine compliance evaluation” that between 2015 and 2017 the company “discriminated against white applicants in favor of Asian applicants for computer systems analyst positions.” The settlement agreement contains a more-specific description of the applicants allegedly favored, describing them as “Asian applicants, particularly Asian Indians.” The agreement notes that Mphasis denies the department’s claims.
