Washington, May 27: The issue that is of concern
to Indian Americans today is how India is perceived because of
the issue of outsourcing, according to American Legislator
Joseph Crowley.
Crowley, the Democratic Congressman who is Co-Chairman
of the house caucus on India and Indian Americans, told the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee at a meeting held
earlier this month that Indian Americans "believe that there is
an element of racism involved, because it is India and not
Israel and Ireland where a lot of these it jobs are going to."
In the past, he said, when the jobs were going to
Ireland and Israel, it did not get so much attention "but now
that there are Indians answering the phone, they feel a great
deal of concern about how they are perceived and how India is
perceived, and they feel that it is unfair."
