I can't quote the context, but I saw the show (twice)- it was a highly supportive piece about the USA importing engineers from IIT and india.

The context was just exactly what it seems like- that US tech employers favor indian workers over almost "anybody else", especially IIT graduates. Best case if you are an american is to assume he meant indian workers as preferred over other foreign workers. Worst case, is he meant indian workers were preferred over all workers. Of course he did say "almost anybody else" so he sort of qualified things in that way. But he used the word "favored" which is quite awful if you ask me.

A Sun spokeswoman said the company's attorneys had not had a chance to review the complaint. But she noted the company had successfully defended itself against similar charges.

Maybe Sun defended themselves successfully in the past, but I'll bet they have a tougher time now. Its one thing to bring in indian workers when jobs are abundant. But now, some of the top industry engineers are out of work and ready to deal on pay. Indian workers are a relatively new phenomenon (last 5 years or so)- so you can't really say that US workers are in any way substandard since most of the boom was created with a US workforce.
