Have become? I think they’ve been that way from the beginning. We are finally waking up. I’ve tried to avoid buying any Chinese product since we started importing them—it’s not always possible, but if I have a choice, I buy another product. If it isn’t the poisoning, it’s the slave labor. How else can you buy a hand-made quilt for a kingsize bed for $40?
You are both absolutely right. I realized that the moment I hit “post.”
When I was a lounge musician years ago the owner of one place I worked was a middle aged Chinese guy who persisted in putting his hands on me and asking if I wanted to be “his girl.” Yuck. I quit that gig in a hurry. What a sleezebag.
