Even as a monoculturally raised Midwesterner (US), I share this feeling (certainly not specific to or directed at the GP, but in general).

Why one person deserves to work more than another, or one company deserves your business more than another, solely based on where they are on the globe, is beyond me.

Personally, I think it's one of the last vestiges of patriotism/nationalism that otherwise rational, worldly people for some reason still hold on to. Hopefully we can get past it.
