I’m sure this is discussed a lot, but genuinely wondering from leaders at firms - I’m a first generation, Indian male. Parents immigrated to America and have worked minimum wage labor jobs to raise my and my siblings. They speak very poor English, but always prioritized me and my siblings’ education. I don’t expect any handouts or policies to encourage hiring of candidates like myself, but wanted to ask, do you view candidates like us as diversity hires in consulting?

No, because everyone in consulting is white, Indian, and Asian.
I was not a diversity hire as a first generation, white female. Why would you be?

Nope. Same boat immigrating from eastern Europe. I get lumped in as white.

Check your privilege OP!

Are you non binary? If so, then you might be a diverse hire. If not, check your privilege.

Why would you even need this? Indians thrive in some of the top paying industries in US without the need for an extra push. Just keep gaining experience on the job, it gets better and better with time.
