Highly unjust in my opinion. A good product is a good product. It shouldn't have to justify itself through some western association. This is just blatant racism. Not pointing fingers at you specifically, more at the general attitude.
Check out my location. I live in China. I know better than most that the Chinese can make good products. Unfortunately, it's undeniable that there is a pretty widepread view that Chinese products = crap / knockoffs, and my point was simply that State choosing Sensah as their OEM manufacturer shows they aren't the knockoff artists or purveyors of crap quality that many people might assume them to be simply because they happen to be Chinese.

Friends of mine in Shanghai have told me that people have been leaving in droves in the last two years. I lived in Xujiahui for five years. You're going to stick around? What's the latest on the ground there?

Your friends are leaving? They are clearly racist for leaving and for them to deny they are racists only confirms they are racist.***

Wow your flaming insecurity is really poking out. Repressed racist rage. Is it self-shame or self-guilt giving you that chip on your shoulder? Yes keep lashing out like an idiot lmao.

They left because of the COVID pandemic. Nothing to do with racism. We had a ****-show here in New York and people left here in droves as well.

Weren't you the one concerned about this thread devolving into junk? Why restart this with a "joke" when everyone has already moved on? Changed your mind about junk I see. Found the real joke.

Are sarcasterisks the new boldtalics?

I have such a hard time keeping up with these things.

Either way sarcasm does not work with some folks. Just gives them more straw for their strawmen.

I did not say I was concerned about it devolving into junk, I said it has devolved into junk. It already happened.
As such, me making that comment isnt going to make the thread worse since it already turned to junk.
I enjoy obviously over the top comments on message boards. The absurd is something I also find funny, especially in workplaces. Irony makes me giggle too, particularly when it goes unrecognized.

I thank you for the entertainment.

What are you? 7 years old?

It says here you're from Iowa? It's fine, I get it. Everything is clear.

There is a popcorn eating emoji for this forum- so it shouldnt be a surprise to find out people take pleasure in sitting back and laughing at unrecognized irony and/or absurdism.

Making fun of where I happen to currently live? Solid burn there.*** <---look at those sarcasterisks in use again!

Back on topic Sensah hoods are shaped like Campy hoods that automatically makes them better than stretched out Shimano hoods.

Quoted to mention that this thread is closed for moderator review. I'm a bit surprised nobody reported all the politics sooner, but we don't allow it outside the P&R forum.
