[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin has declared New Balance the “Official Shoes of White People.”

“I’m a Nike guy. Or rather, I was,” Anglin wrote on his popular website the Daily Stormer, which promotes an anti-Semitic, white supremacist agenda. “It’s time to get on-board with New Balance now. Their brave act has just made them the official brand of the Trump Revolution.”[/quote]

Original NB poster, I think this is what he was talking about. I do tend to buy more expensive clothes that are made in the US or in Europe (and I research the brands practices), but I also try to buy fewer things that are better made. Unfortunately for my growing kids it’s hard to find things that are as carefully and ethically made, but I try. I refused to shop at Shein no matter how much my teen daughter wanted, and I’ve discussed their unethical practices with her which made her agree. She now prefers thrift stores which can be a great source for better made clothes at a good price. [/quote]
