There isn't anything anyone says here that you will not immediately flag as accruing from bigotry in some regard. You attempt to grandstand in every conversation with this tactic. You're full of shit. A little kid looking to score points. Look at my virtue!

I said China makes a number of quality items. But it also makes a whole lotta junk. This isn't up for debate. And it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with economic and political factors within the country.

Am I bigoted? Yes. Against almost every form of Chinese appliance or home furnishing I've bought (save the antiques), I am. It's not well made.

Guess what else isn't well made: Mercedes. They used to be built like bank vaults. Now they're cheap plasticky shitboxes. Chalk me up as bigoted against the Germans for pumping out cheap shadows of their past vehicles.

A shit product is a shit product is a shit product, and I'm tired of buying so many shit products. I'd buy American in re appliances, but I can't even do that. Few are made here and those that are have fallen in quality because, well, Why make something well when you can half ass it, have it break sooner, and compel the customer to buy another? That's what the competition abroad does.

Shall we get into British cars next? Might my refusal to ever own one be evidence of xenophobia toward the Brits?

White Fragility made sense. You've no business citing that book. That you do is kind of an insult to it. A cogent and measured argument like hers shouldn't be shoehorned into your moralizing pronouncements.

ETA: You're exactly what'll get Trump re-elected.

This is self-parody, right?
