The composition of Infosys' U.S. workforce is too lopsided -- overwhelmingly South Asian -- to be an accident, allege the plaintiffs in a discrimination lawsuit.
The plaintiffs, four IT workers from around the U.S., brought their discrimination lawsuit against the India-based IT services giant in 2013. This week, they filed a motion seeking class-action certification from 2009, and say the potential pool of plaintiffs may be as large as 125,000.

Neumark wrote that "the share of South Asian workers in Infosys' United States-based workforce, when compared to the relevant labor market, is 301.17 standard deviations higher, and the statistical likelihood that this disparity is due to chance -- as opposed to a systematic difference in hiring favoring one group over the other -- is less than 0.0000001%, or less than 1 in 1 billion."

The 'mexicans' you talk about are usually owner-operators, or have one or two hired hands.
Of the ones neighbors/family have used, one was a husband/wife couple, another was a white dude with one or two mexicans, a third was himself mexican with one other worker, and the rest were all mexicans.
Point being: Most of the disparity of mexicans working lawn care over whites is whites not wanting to do the work, not wanting to invest in the equipment (only one or two have been working out of a pickup, the rest were working out of a trailer attached to a 1/2-3/4 ton pickup.), or being unable to compete with mexicans on cost, quality, or quantity.
