Ask HN: One team lead always builds a monoethnic team. What to do?

Have you experienced people trying to always build / maintain monoethnic teams? How do you approach this problem and how do you even talk about it? This is very specific to my EU/Singapore experience so I am not sure how big of a problem this is in the US/North America. Even though the working language is english there's usually teams where one person decides to always hire people of his ethnicity or people that speak a specific language. Meetings with such team is always awkward as they internally discuss the topic in their own language during the meeting. Also their hiring practices are essentially discriminatory.
