A video of what seems to be a Christmas party at an Amazon warehouse has gone viral after Netizens raised concerns over how almost all the staff, irrespective of position, seem to be originally from the Indian subcontinent.

Posting the video on X, a Netizen who goes by the pseudonym 'Tablesalt' said, "This video is from a massive Amazon warehouse in Canada. People noticed that almost everyone, workers, technicians, even managers, appear to be from the same background."

Remarking that he was not criticizing the workers but merely wondering how such a huge workplace is extensively and disproportionately dominated by people from one ethnic background.

He questioned, "Is it referral chains? Is it managers hiring from their own networks? So why is the conversation always about low paying Tim Hortons and not about why high paying corporations like these who aren't hiring Canadians at all?

The video captioned, "Everyone is Indian. Every. Single. Person. HOW does this happen??" split netizens with some remarking that most Canadians don't apply to warehouse jobs and even when they work there, would be unwilling to cover Christmas shifts. Others agreed with the video and blamed hiring managers, claiming that this is not an isolated incident.
