Billboard,

I think you will find that being Caucasian is in fact a negative for getting work in Airlines in Africa as an FO unless you're a local. Try getting in SAA as a white male applicant with thousands of hours... . nope . "Sorry we prefer previous disadvantaged." I won't support my home country's airline, as I don't want my family in the back of an aircraft where the flight crew are selected on that basis.

Now in bush aviation it may hold true that Indians aren't welcome. Possibly for the reasons given above in a previous post by flyboy. He should know.
