Completely agree with you on first para.

"Offer a Westerner a package that is offered to Asians and no one would accept it." In many cases Westerners would accept even if it is half of what they pay to an Asian worker! We can take a real life examples by comparing numbers e.g. salary being paid to a professional in Western Europe or North America in a particular industry vis-a-vis an Asian professional's pay in the Gulf in the same industry. I guarantee you Asian professionals make more money in Gulf than their Western counterparts in the West. After tax people are left with pennies in their pockets.

Jealously is natural as we do not see skin colour and passport as qualifications.
