Ugh. It saddens me that people are willing to make such sweeping generalizations about other countries and cultures. Now I don't care if you think Brand X of something sucks, but don't blame the poor quality on its country of origin. If a company's product is bad, then it is the company's fault, not the people who's job it is to produce them. I'm sure that if you were to take the finest craftsman on the planet and asked him/her to build a product according to crappy specifications, the end product will still be crap--through no fault of the individual who built it.
ethnocentrism like this disgusts me.
