100. Anti Chinese bigotry?
Edited on Thu Jan-15-09 09:28 PM by TwoSparkles
Chinese bigotry against what? China's oppressive, slave-labor practices?

Yes, I'm "bigoted" against that. It's disgusting.

Haven't you ever seen an expose on "60 Minutes" or "Frontline" that reveals what is happening there?
The Chinese people, who work in these factories--live in small, disgusting single rooms that are attached
to these factories. Usually, there are seven or eight Chinese women and children in each, small room.
They work 15 hour days and the food they are served, is taken out of their paycheck. So is their
rent on the small room. They are paid cents an hour.

They are slaves.

Do you have absolutely no knowledge about what is happening over there? How in the
world do you think Target and Walmart can sell kids tennis shoes for $6?

America's entire economy has been based on this dynamic for the past few decades. Are you seriously
unaware of this? They make it cheap and pay their workers a few bucks a day. We buy it cheap
and sell it cheap.

Wake up, please.
