Does a blue collar worker from India deserve less of an opportunity than a blue collar worker from Eastern Europe?

You may answer no to this (i.e., believe in completely open borders). But I think that the general public will not accept this.

I would answer no to it - a blue collar worker from india absolutely deserves the same opportunity as a worker in Europe.

I agree, we are a long ways from the public accepting open borders. I just think its important to point out - as a society we have rejected racism, but we are blind to the fact that exclusionary nationalism is it's strict moral equivalent.

I would challenge anyone who disagrees to come up w/ an explanation why racism is immoral, that does not also apply to birthplace.
