Difference in quality in products made in China?

Swampwalker, is that what I said? If I were to mention to an Asian violinist that she had natural hands for playing the violin (which is often the case), that this would be defamatory remark rather than a simple observation. There was nothing in my original comment that would even suggest racial targeting or criticism towards Asians. Besides this, you know nothing about me, whether my wife is Chinese or whether or not I'm Jewish, nothing, zilch. To think that commenting about the physical strength and dexterity in the physiology of an Asians hands is less than a compliment is taking what I've said totally out of context. This new age-ie woo woo notion that were all physiologically the same and that commenting otherwise is somehow racial profiling is sure nonsense.

The Communist part of China loves our money but hates our culture, but the current criminals we have in Congress are moving us closer than ever before to a police state Orwellian government, so its just a matter of time we will be like China. The underground liberation groups in China respect what we have left of our Republic and love Americans. Its only the racists against China in the U.S. that fail to recognize the extreme contrasts in China and the changes they went through in 1948. China is a mixed bag just like the U.S. and the certain companies in China manufacturing very high quality electronics are the Asians that embrace capitalism more and and respect free enterprise and open markets we have in the states. As long as I'm aware of these certain companies and the pride they have in what they make I'll never have a problem buying Audio components made in China. After all, your laptop computer is made in China.

Goofyfoot...I've been a professional musician and a professional goofyfoot (competitive pro longboard surfer) likely longer than you've been alive, and I strongly suggest you get out in the world a little more to learn what racist nonesense is all about. Thinking finger size has something to do with musical proficiency is weird (I know some 300 lb Hawaiian ukulele masters who might question your opinions), claiming this is common knowledge among some school of classical musicians simply insults classical musicians, and if you think objecting to racist stereotyping is political correctness, just spout that crap among some of my large handed Asian friends and be ready to duck. I don't know you, but if you're somebody who would actually say something like "you have nice fingers for violin LIKE ASIANS OFTEN DO", you've showed me all I need to know.

Well then Wolf-garcia you undoubtedly must be right. I can see by your responses that you've been involved in teaching classical violin and piano for 60 or so years. But since I have these ridiculous racist stereotypes, then I'll add these as well; Koreans typically have curly blonde hair and pigmies are normally 6 feet tall and it would be my racist perceptions to believe any differently. Get real.

I actually met a seven foot pygmy by the name of Nelson at LAX in 2009 while waiting for a connecting flight. He was with his Agent and informed me he just signed with the Laker's.
