CUK's Far right underbelly

[SallyAnne]

I.T. never claimed to be a bastion of intellectuals! Having said that, I've met some decent types (black, white, Indian, gay.....) in I.T. who I WOULD live next door to!

A classic thing I read on here a couple years ago was a reference to Indians writing code to take jobs away from Brits for 'a bowl of rice'. Throw-away comments like that betray gross ignorance and are very, very common here, even if only said in jest.

Welcome Jim - please stay around, we need all the good guys we can get!

Actually, the Indian IT pro's are having a far better quality of life than the ave Brit. Huge disposable income, luxury goods, cars, servants, fancy city apartments.

We have outsourced our wealth.

JimJim, I work with an Indian guy would was laughing about some work and said it was 'as cheap as chips'

Should I get offended and demand compensation or get him tried at the Hague.
You seem to be determined to get offended on other peoples behalf

The expression 'cheap as chips' doesn't imply an Indian is so inferior that he'll work for a bowl of rice instead of money.

You seem to be determined to find statements to bolster your ignorance of the context in which I posted. But I guess you can put chips into a bowl!

That's a bit like asking if one pyramid is bigger than another
