US Labor Dept accuses CIA-backed Palantir of discriminating against Asian engineers

Buzzword

Maybe they just weren't very good?

The lawsuit alleges Palantir routinely eliminated Asian applicants in the resume screening and telephone interview phases, even when they were as qualified as white applicants.

Throwing out Asian names at the CV ("resumé") stage would indeed show discrimination; but why would the company waste time with telephone interviews if they knew they weren't going to hire them?
