Poorly planned outsourcing and its results seem to have indirectly fueled ultra-rightists one way or another. The guy with the agenda will use the underpaid fellow of the less favored ethnic as a scapegoat, using it as a so-called "absolute proof" to demonize an entire nation of people where the outsourced factory is located.

Lets say for example the melamie contamination in "coffee crisp", "smarties" or "cadbury bar". The incompetence of greedy western executives who would lay off its quality control team would be doing exactly what ultra-rightists want.

This has become almost the sole reason to racially hate people on most extremist forums like stormfront and 2ch. Bad product and job loss is pretty much the only arguments sometime exclusively.

So much attention is being taken away from the sources of the problems:

1) Executives who lobby corrupt governments.
2) labor abuse of countries with no human rights
3) poor management and a subtle hidden class system that only
allows most of the power and wealth to go to a select few.

There are many more but the ultra-ultra-right loves the quick and instant method:

1) invade nations and invoke complete destruction. No people, no jobs outsourced.
2) sterilization of people of the less favored peoples, and segregation so that its every ethnic for themselves.
3) This involves those that aren't even responsible simply because the factory outsourced to their home.

The poor working conditions and quality in china just fits so well into most far rights with their own agenda makes it truly mouth watering. People like Ishihara for example would probably want just one more bad product to come out of "inferior gaijin nations" just so he can have a new story to tell to fit his agenda.

I understand that outsourcing is problem and that nations like China and North Korea are problematic in Asia but some people tend to take it out of context to further segregate and cause tension between regular folks who have nothing to do with the said corruption in an already bad situation.

I don't think it is a question of political/racial tensions, but food safety or security guarantees.

IF you think so, you better eat China-Full Foods (Not China-Free Foods) and move to Pyongyang. Nobody stop you.

Do you know Ishihara is the guy who encourages more immigrants in Japan?

Enlighten me how you describe the young patriotic people in China/South Korea, please.
Are they pathetic ultra-rightists? If not, why do you have your own double-standard on the 2ch and the guys in China/Korea?
