He just stated that historically this practice has been in place in Africa, since thousand of years now, and this practice isn't new, isolated or a novelty like this documentary made it seem. Also sorry for bursting your bubble but America is one of the western country that outsources the most in all industries. Apple is designed in california but made in China. All american cars have their pieces made in others countries and then assembled in the US, which is a way to bend the law and keep the "made in USA". The parts of your washing machines and all important electronics are made in Turkey, eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia, they were just screwed on by american workers on your soil. Yeah you guys do Levis pants from A to Z, not really a treasure of ingenious craftsmanship. Inform yourself on your own country before spewing Nationalist bullshit. Having plants where parts coming from all over the world are assembled is not "making it better than anybody". Peace
