My question was mostly retorical. I know that prioritizing fellow citizens is common in almost every country. But I think it is in most cases not morally justifiable, especially in the US where almost everyone is descendent of low single-digit generation immigrants. Not to mention 0-generation immigrants especially in California. (It wouldn't surprise me if there are more highly paid Californian SWE with family in India or China than in Iowa.)
- mensetmanusman 4y agoIt is usually morally justifiable because one is more likely to have a positive impact on your family and community.
- sokoloff 4y agoIt wouldn’t surprise me either to learn that more Californian <anything requiring college or equivalent> have family coming from among over a bit over a billion than from a bit over 3 million people.
- watwut 4y agoWhat does being 3th or more generation immigrant have to do with that? At that point, the ties toward where ancestors came from are purely theoretical. The person have nothing to do with culture or economy of country of origin anymore.
