it's like 99% mexicans in the kitchen at most american chinese restaraunts...and other restaraunts. look at anthony bourdain's show, he has an entire segment where he visits the hometown of one his sous chefs lol, and he even admits to having a mostly mexican staff.
the funny thing in mexico, it's the opposite, there are entire (almost self-segregated) communities of chinese that live in regions of mexico and they make banging chinese food.

nothing like the real thing. Used to like American Chinese before I lived in China. Only things that were pretty much the same were fried rice which my girlfriend would make out of the rice from the previous day or two and sweet and sour which was my favorite as a kid but pretty ordinary to me now

Thread title is incorrect.
It's not the NBA behind this, it is a bipartisan congressional committee. And they aren't enforcing anything, they are "formally asking" the NBA and the NBPA to cut their ties with Chinese clothes manufacturers.
Doubt this leads anywhere.

Just think, there were low IQ idiots on here who were hating on Enes Kanter Freedom for saying the same thing.
