I don't think anything Brucelee said was 'racist', maybe offensive with the little monkey and food comment, but overall it just looks like someone who is trying to make a change at the most fundamental level. Most people cry and complain, those complaints fall on politician's deaf ears, when they can send a much clearer message by simply changing things within their own lives.

Oh, and the Olympics are pathetic.... table tennis? Badminton? It's like a televised OSQ... if it were real. I'm waiting for the little paper 'football' (the game where you folded up a piece of paper into a triangle and played on lunch room tables) event to start.

Those companies want to make a bigger profit margin, or simply meet their price point. So, they are willing to sacrifice the quality by using second tier raw material, inlcuding plastics, lead, paint, etc. That's also one of the reason why we see lead in toys and such. Basically, you've got what you paid for (as a company, not the consumers).

If the companies are willing to pay the premium, they would get good quality products in return, even the products are made in China. However, who would want to do that? Since the market is already flooded with similar products made by second tier material at a low price point, not many consumers are willing to pay more for quality(safer, better material, better engineered products) that they can not see and feel. Therefore, many companies are forced to do the same thing, which is going cheap.

Unless Walmart is no longer exist, I don't see this trend is going to end any time soon.

I hate to admit this, but its mainly due to China hosting it.



I also try my BEST to not buy anything made in China, Its hard, and I know it wont make a dfference really, but there is a HUGE group doing this to... I don't think there's one thing China makes well... Not a single thing... Chinese food is only good if its from American Chinese people...

But back to the subject, as long as its hosted by a real county and not some knock off country, I'll watch.


China!

But that's being human, everyone has their goods and bads about a race here and there...

Whites are rich and get good jobs just cause they have a white name. They dont even try too hard and they get handed down stuff cuz their mom n' dads were rich.

Black people are too ghetto (personally been mugged) Overly aggressive all the ****in time for no damn reason.

****** (especially honkonese people are stuckup cuz I'm too american for them)

Indians smell

Mexicans mow lawns

Etc, blah blah blah.

We all have negative thoughts about other countries, and kinds of people.

The bottom line? We did this to ourselves! US outsources everything because it's CHEAPER for the businesses.

We pay 120 bux for a pair of nike's while some kid in Taiwan makes 2cents for that.

It isn't China, or any other nation for that matter. It's the god almighty Supreme UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that is runnin around finding things as cheap as possible because... WE ARE GREEDY AS HELL... that's it period.

And with our falling economy I am glad that organizations actually go to Mexico to pay cheaper wages for people to pick up a tomatoes instead of paying higher prices. You tell a white dude to pick some tomatoes for 10hrs a day and he'll want insurance coverage and at least 20 bux an HR for HARD LABOR.

We complain about high food prices, but it'd go a boat load higher if we're payin White people to pick our food.

We'd complain if our garbage isn't collected cuz it's a white dude wanting more cash to pick it up.

I COMPLAIN the most about stupid WHITE people who think they are the Aryan supreme but yet they are the ones who OUTSOURCES for CHEAPER LABOR for MORE MONEY because the United States is the CAPITAL FOR GREED.

If you're fine with paying for Chanel and Burberry items everyday cuz they're made by white people then that's fine. But I am too broke (along with 95%) of the population to be buyin' that crap.

Walmart is taking over everything because all their goods are almost all outsourced.

The only time I ever saw a white dude workin at Walmart, he was the manager.

Actually I work in a place where there are about 7 white dudes, and 3 of them are managers, while the rest of the building about (80) is asian/indian.

Open your eyes, we brought this situation upon ourselves.

If it isn't your type of sports, understandable, but tryin to not watch it cuz China hosts it? That speaks for itself. You are ignorant.

5) My mom is white and she doesn't have a good job nor was anything handed to her, we don't struggle for money by an means anymore, but there was a time where myself, my mom, and my brother (the latter two being white) were living paycheck to paycheck, once again your statement is stereotypical and offensive
Based on the above mentioned facts, if you took ANY offense to the OP then you might as well DIAF

If anybody else took offense to the OP then look at the quoted post, the fact that everybody let this just slide by without any second glance is ****ed up, this is 10x more offensive then anything Brucelee said, I know that people have the freedom of speech but that freedom is overruled by mine or anybody elses freedom of pursecution

anyways, back to the thread: I think it's important to remember that China today is not the China of yesterday. If that's the case I could bring up a lot of dirt on the U.S. or any other previous hosting country.

And China is the leading country in technological manufacturing innovations, which is why a lot of Japanese and Korean companies are starting to go to China to manufacture electronics. I think it's pretty ignorant to say that China makes crap stuff. I actually believe that American made is almost on par with Chinese made.


BTW Americanized Chinese food is total crap (Panda Express) compared to authentic HK owned Chinese restaurants.
