Casual racism is not ok man, this has nothing to do with nationality. I know tech industry workers are sensitive about outsourcing, but don't make it about nationality. If these companies are happy to sell in India they should not have problem hiring.

India regularly extradites people who have been indicted in USA.

You can't honestly tell me you believe the deterrence effect is just as strong whether someone is US based or not.

It can be, Indian call center scammers are more scared of FBI than Indian law enforcement.

Criminals have different value set nothing to do with nationality. We still have a article on the front page about an American CEO embezzing funds. You will not hear anyone saying be careful of American CEOs.

If criminals in India are more afraid of the FBI than Indian law enforcement, that tells me Indian law enforcement is bad. I want my employees to be under the jurisdiction of good law enforcement, not bad law enforcement.

That's xenophobia clouding your judgement. These crimes are happening in USA so of course US law enforcement gets them.

I thought that "Indian call center" means that it's in India.

That's not the relevant comparison.

So you're saying that it's ok to for Amazon to sell in India but not hire there?

[ikeboy]

Please read the above comments, in particular the part about critical business functions.

You originally stated that: This has long been a major issue with Amazon - often the people making the decisions as to whether a business with dozens of employees gets to keep selling or goes bankrupt are being paid less than US minimum wage in another country.

So I'm assuming you're saying that they shouldn't hire in India apparently because of less than minimum wage. So these kinds of things can be avoided if Amazon were to hire decision makers who make minimum wage or whatever the lowest amount they can get away with in US?

As you know, the sellers and buyers are global. So should Amazon divide its operations so that Indian employees only process sales and purchases based in India? What happens with sales from India to USA or vice-versa?

I am failing to grasp what exactly it is that you are saying here. With respect to extradition, India and USA already have a treaty.
