Is it a crime being a writer in India? (any)

Indian writers are being shunned every where..Helium no longer wants Indian writers while people at sites like GAF only want "native English writers". All the other sites only offer jobs to the "natives" like Americans, British and Australians. They have rich compensation plans for their natives while they offer nothing for the Indians. The irony is that they often get articles done from Indians at $1 for 500 words and sell them at a high rate since they say that they have done those articles! They think that when they offer even a dollar to an Indian, they are actually doing him a favor!

When you ask them the reason for this injustice, they say that Indians cannot write well!
I fail to understand a few things:
1. How can they just ostracize an entire race because of few people who cannot write well?
2. Are all their people great and prolific writers? Strange, if so, because half of them are high school drop outs.
3. All Americans and Australians are actually immigrants, its only the British who can be called native English speakers!
4. Most of their top earning officials are actually relocating to India to run away from the recession and get perks like domestic help etc!

So, you cant just have your cake and eat it too. They want to have a monopoly on the net, sell their second hand stuff to India and yet ostracize the entire country and then they call their country a land of equal opportunity!!
What hypocrisy

So who are they kidding?
