>This racism is again mirrored in the huge salary difference. Are those Indian workers really worth so much less? Nobody anywhere in the world is paid what they are "worth". They are paid whatever is necessary to keep them at the company. In other words, as an employee the competition is other employees in the same market. It has nothing to do with racism, that's just intellectually lazy. >By not paying a competitive salary, those IBM offices in India are lacking the deep experience of western programmers. Paying a higher salary doesn't suddenly make the Indian workers smarter. It just makes the job more attractive to where the stronger experience is (currently the US).
