I feel that would be the case for most countries and places though. That's not so obvious, a local college degree will almost always work better than an non-local one.
But my example was just one example of this inequality. It can really weigh you down to live in it for some time if you are from a country with much more general freedom and attempts at social equality (i.e. much of europe or even the U.S.).
They even said "look we understand why locals get paid more for the same job but why Malays? This is unfair"
For their troubles they were arrested, imprisoned, had the shit kicked out of them before being deported.
That's still better than how Bangladeshi migrant workers are treated.
The racism is not as bad as it is in, say, Saudi Arabia or Israel but it's still pretty bad.
