You've somehow managed to turn a bug report into a soundboard for your racist insecurities. Impressive. In a sad way.
Coming from said 'offshore' (at least in regards to the US), I see that 'quality' people work remotely for monies comparable to the onsite workers, launch startups, et cetera. If you outsource to the offshore for the costs, guess what, you get lesser quality for the said cost. Nothing racist in that, but I understand your position - a SJW to every household!
I also think everyone uncompetitive should get basic income.
e.g. if a competent, competitive person receives X per year, should basic income be 0.1X, 0.25X, 0.90X, etc?
Also, would competent people working remotely from a different country be taxed to contribute to the basic income fund?
You can choose to not like the connotations of the word, but that's just your choice. Definitions of words are real.
Offshore is not a race. That's just xenophobia.
I also haven't heard any good conversations about race that deny it. If you accept the existence of racism, you should accept the evident existence of race.
I think the other-ness of offshore labor has parallels to many things in the history of racism—namely, the exploitation of xenophobia and tribalism to justify cheap labor, explicit or implicit. There's also many different aspects: the xenophobia is nationalistic, not phenotypic; offshoring does not imply a poor wage or reduced quality of life for the local economy, just compared to the exploiting economy; we don't see (much) moralistic justification for offshoring.
My point being, this is a complex subject and you're not contributing much by denying race itself. There are easier ways to dispel notions you disagree with than alienating others in the conversation by denying them.
This seems to be a non sequitur to me. I can accept that people exist who divide humanity into X number of races based on some perceived fundamental differences and treat those groups differently without accepting that their divisions are valid and in practice real.
And in practice, race doesn't exist. That is, humans don't fit nicely into the given "race" boxes. For example, North Africans don't look much like Middle Africans, so are they part of the "black" race? How about native Malays, are they Asian? Or Indians, are they black, or a separate race? What about Pacific Islanders, are they black or Asian or a fourth race? Are Mediterraneans as "white" as Scandinavians? How about Bangladeshis, are they Asian or black or part of the "Indian" race if that exists? Are Arabs white or a different race or black? What about people who have grandparents who are white, black, Asian, and Middle Eastern? What race are they?
In practice, at best you can divide into broad familial groups typically centered in countries, which results in hundreds of ethnic groupings which could hardly be called "race" in the way it is commonly used. And those ethnic groupings are the result of large amounts of intermarriage and continue to intermarry, because humanity is a big mess of DNA originating from the same source, the first of the human race. The only human race that exists is humanity itself.
A perfect example is Donald Trump. Every argument about Trump became "he's a racist!!11", which caused people to ignore and focus on the wrong problems with him! There was a lot of negatives to Trump, and yet everyone just said "Racist, boom I don't need to argue any more!"
People started ignoring completely legit arguments because the racist angle was so overplayed. I'm sick of hearing racist as the end-all be-all argument. It doesn't work anymore, the card is overplayed. The only place it still works is in liberal bubbles. (Note I'm socially liberal, fiscal conservative moderate, no dog in this race)
When Ronald Regan said "welfare queen", did he mean to imply "black woman on welfare"? If I write, "Middle-eastern people are lazy" do I mean to imply "Arabs are lazy - but not necessarily Jews"?
I also wonder whether you can have a racist view of your own race. For example, a stereotype is that black people are inherently bad at math - are there any blacks that believe this?
