Ooh, ooh! And manufacturers of nuclear weapons too! Coincidence?
Might as well throw in Israel into the mix thought they're a bit under the radar.
Great movie I might add... If Americans only knew the half of it.

Most things with the "Made in the USA" label were actually assembled in the US from parts and materials manufactured in another country, or were assembled in another country out of materials manufactured in the US, or were "Made in the USA" by a company that's actually owned by a foreign company.
Many things with an "overseas" brand are actually made in the USA. Like Mitsubishi or Honda, who have big plants in the Midwest.
Gee, living in this global economy sucks, doesn't it? You never know when you're buying something made by a damn foreigner or not!

Some people might be concerned about buying products outside of the US not because of racism, but because of concern for the labor practices of the manufacturers (i.e., Gap)

I'll agree that that's a concern for some people, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the original poster's argument and you know it.
