Jobs outsourced to Europe would be done because they had a particular skill that was hard to find in the US. The ONLY reason jobs are outsourced to India and other so-called third world countries is because of cheap labor. I could not care less who the cheap labor is. And it's not just wrong for us here losing our jobs, it's wrong that those "dark-skinned" people are being taken advantage of and used like slave labor. I never felt any sort of racist anger toward those who take the jobs. They are desperate. It's a shame.
