Outsourcing to India and The American scream

Outsourcing to India and The American scream

Kinglsey's post on Sue's piece on java.net had me thinking. Here's my take.
enough's been said about outsourcing backlash. Enough has been said about how Americans (well some of them) hate the brown people from India for lapping up all 'their' jobs. Let's look within. We have a section of people that thinks Sonia Gandhi is unfit to contest in elections because she is of Italian origin. And of course we have state governments like TN and Maharashtra taking 'measures' against the 'western culture'. Human nature. America is America because it was the place that invented the term 'create wealth'. I admire its capitalism but now when I see some of them whining about competition from India or other countries that offer cheap labour... well, guys you taught us capitalism!
I don't want to conclude on this issue. It's good for me and my country. It's good for Microsoft. Oracle. IBM. SUN. It works. Well most times. And I happen to be on the right (?) side. By that I mean the side that's making the most of it. So whatever I say to conclude would result in rhetoric. It's business as usual people. May the best (wo)man get the job. I sympathize with Sue for her juvenile rant. With our prices we are hurting them where it hurts the most. That's business. That's life Sue. You taught us that!
