> if the replacements were not Indian.

You hit the nail on the head. Would there be these many complaints if the replacements were Canadians? Nope. Would there be many complaints if the replacements were English? Nope. Would there be many complaints if the replacements were Aussies. Nope.

Would there be many complaints if the replacements were Mexicans? Yes.

What's common between Mexico and India? What ever could it be?

Your question is obviously trying to bait people into being racist. However, there is another thread. People from Canada, England, and Australia probably wouldn't be willing to accept far less in terms of salary. The standard of living in those countries is fairly high. So one wouldn't really be able to make the argument that an employer brought in a bunch of Canadians to drive down the wages of Americans.
