Or, to ask the same question in yet another way, are you, a supposed
multicultural progressive, actually in fact a racist elitist who
believes that Americans are just somehow naturally superior to people
in the third world simply by virtue of being an American, and for no
other reason than that they are therefore automatically entitled to be
paid 10 times what those other people of other races are paid in the
third world for doing the same work?

I wouldn't be confronted with the prospect because I'm not an unskilled
worker.  America already has abundant natural advantages, like freedom,
and opportunities for training and education, that allow people to
position themselves so that they can rise above grunt labor, and so
they shouldn't have to have their wage rates artifically propped up.
If they haven't pursued and taken advantage of those ubiquitous
opportunities, that's on them.  It's a global economy, baby.  And more
and more so every day.
