I do have a sense of humour; that's my whole point. I'm saying a lot of people disguise their racism (whether they know it or not) with humour. Maybe you aren't racist, but making jokes like that only legitimizes them, when they can be truly offensive.

As for outsourcing "really screwing up our economy", I'd say this is just further evidence of perceived cultural superiority. Don't you see that opposing outsourcing could really screw up the Indian economy?

But I'd say, beyond this, that outsourcing isn't a zero-sum game. If India can do IT help desks more efficiently than the US can, then doesn't everybody benefit when India specializes in this area? Those who lose their jobs in the US due to outsourcing can always find new ones, that will be even bigger contributions to the US economy. Free trade (and that includes movement of labour) is mutually beneficial.
