I don't understand this hate towards the Indians. The damn capitalism wants good products and at a cheap price and here is what the poor people providing the service has to pay. Our generation will be alive to see the economic take over by the East, the results we are about to see will be very very interesting. Entering in the 21st century we should be embracing diversity .truly sad News: Yet another instance of backlash against outsourcing to India has been reported. And this time its laced with hate, sexc ism and racism. American radio jockeys Star and Buc Wild ? apparently big names in their field ? in an attempt to be 'funny' broadcast an abusive call that was placed to an Indian call-centre worker. The 'call' was aired in their morning show on Philadelphia's Power 99 FM radio. In the tape that was played, the caller starts with placing an order for mail order beads, questions the executive if the call has been outsourced to India and then proceeds to abuse her. Apparently, the wakeup crew at the radio station thought it was hilarious, but it has provoked outrage amongst Indians back home and those living in the US. The audio file was removed from the Power 99 site, but can be downloaded from at link http://www.edrants.com/_mp3/Power99_Call_to_India.mp3
