Obviously MIM strats are made by Mexican Nationals down in Ensenada, I didn't know the Corona stuff was also made, inspected or QC'D by Mexican Americans????

A third of the work force in Corona, CA is blue collar. 80% of that third are Mexican-American. Do the math. :roll:

The population of Corona (note the name) is around 43.6% Hispanic. Is that a problem?

You make a statement and follow it with four question marks.

Whatever it is, I have a feeling that many of us will not care for where the discussion will likely end up......

It is Fender that sets quality standards for a given factory and regardless of where they are, the workers at that factory usually meet or exceed those standards.

End of topic...please.

You guys support my point. So many people in many Forums degrade the MIM products
mostly because it's down in Ensenada but the same great guys
Are producing North American gig worthy gear.

Thanks for seeing my point.

The point of your original post was not at all clear.
It seemed more racist than anything.

Hmmm....methinks this individual doesn't know the history of this company, the ethnic makeup of the area our instruments are made or how to make a point without ticking off those if us who are May or May not be Lilly White.

I'm not racially sensitive, but I'm intolerant of those who are racially INsensitive.

Since Lady Armadillo is of Mexican Descent, I am now Mexican by Osmosis and have the right to question the point of the original post...I'll assume he is just not very articulate or eloquent until I see further evidence.
