Toyota and Honda are known for their Japanese reliability, but many of their cars come from American factories. So who gets credit, the Japanese or Americans? It's the Japanese... it is still their company. Just like how we don't give credit to the Mexicans for VW or Nissans either.
Lenovo- Just because they purchased IBM's PC division doesn't mean Lenovo computers automatically gain reliability status due to IBM's well-known reputation, in particular their ThinkPads. Afterall, they're sticking with the ThinkPad name/brand for a reason.
Asus, Acer, GigaByte, Abit, etc, etc- These are all Taiwanese companies. While most people in Taiwan are of Chinese decent, most of them identify themselves as Taiwanese. It's no different in other countries where the Chinese moved to. I grew up with quite a few people who were of Chinese decent but of different nationality, and while they maintained their Chinese heritage, they all identified with their nationality and not where their ancestors came from.
Me being racist - I'm Asian also so if I'm racist, that means I hate my own kind? Sorry if you don't like stereotypes, but IMO stereotypes exist for a reason. It doesn't mean that it applies to everyone or everything. I think many Asians are cheap to begin with (I am one of them), but from my experience Chinese people are the worst. It's both a good and bad quality to have. Many of the Chinese people I grew up with came from entrepreneurial families. I wish I could say the same about mine. |
Thinkpads are just as good, if not better built now under Lenovo than under IBM. I have 3 Thinkpads in the household, one T43 and two T61s.
Regarding yourself, racist maybe not (albeit by purely technical terms) but prejudiced definitely.
