"Made in China" shirts

Probably the tackiest of all the statement t-shirts is the "Made In China" onesies.

Targeted consumer: Well meaning adoptive families.
Who sports it: Little girls adopted from China. (Girls of course, because they are so much nicer.)
Punchline: Ha Ha, isn't it funny? You were wondering why a middle-class couple is holding a Asian baby. We'll literally spell it out for you!

WTF, who thought those shirts were a good idea? A shirt like that would be cute and cheeky for a college sophomore, but a child who's at the beginning of a complicated journey she nor her parents understand is . . . well tacky. Since your kid will definably not be teased or have identity issues, go ahead objectify her with a label commonly found on household items, knick-knacks, and loud obnoxious toys.

And people complain about purse dogs.

The Beginning

Once upon on a time a little girl immigrated to Seattle from Hong Kong. She had no idea what she was in for, neither did her parents. Would they have move if they need what was in store for the lives of Chinese Americans. Maybe. Was it worth it? Hard to say, since time travel is not an option now. Would we do it again? That's a stupid questions. That's like asking if you like breathing. People just do what they do and live how they live.
