Reply #120: How do you know you're being transferred to a foreign country?

[lukasahero]

Seriously, I hired a young woman recently who has an accent. I heard a lot of comments from the people she dealt with on the phone who were happy to finally be dealing with someone in the states. I enjoyed telling them that my co-worker was sitting right next to me in America.

How is it we as "progressives" are generally supportive of the rights of Mexican/foreign workers to come here but not of the work being done in their own countries?

These conversations have to be had but DU is really not an adequate forum for them. There's too much grey, too many nuances and, for all the great things about DU, nuance isn't one of it's finer points. I applaud your efforts at trying to bring this discussion up but don't think the thread has really garnered much introspection or enlightenment.
