What is so absurd about getting the same payment for the same job? In fact, there are plenty of legislation that underpins this very concept for various groups of people, overseas workers not being one of them, so? I don't really buy the rational market argument, surely that would mean no fungible roles for SV developers. How one should feel about discriminating people slightly less than socially accepted is indeed complex and somewhat up to taste, I can give you that.
