It's not about race although some will say it is. It's about economics.
The company will ony pay what it has to pay.
Within QP some years ago there was one pay scale and it applied to all nationalities. I believe it still does.
In those days Asians (using Indians as an example) were earning 12 times what they could in their base country.
Western (using British as an example) were earning not much more than they could in their base country but of course it was tax free. Also in those days housing and utilities were at company expense. Alternatively, the company offered a housing allowance that enabled staff to rent a very high level of accommodation.
It was predominantly the Asian community that then opted for cheaper housing, pocketing the balance of the housing allowance, thus increasing their disposable income.
It was suggested that housing allowance be paid against authentic rental agreements which would have reduced the housing bill considerably. Those pocketing the extra housing allowance by renting lower standard accommodation were the first to object to that suggestion.
Essentially each individual must make sure that the offer meets their needs and is considered fair by them.
The majority of problems occur when comparison is made to the salary of others.
