[QUOTE="satori01, post: 2593235, member: 7859"] You seemed to be missing what I was saying, I was not questioning the correctness of his usage of the word illegals, but more trying to get clarification regarding intent. Again it might seem silly to some of you, but here in California, and Los Angeles specifically we might say illegal immigrants or illegal aliens; using the term 'illegals' out here is akin to refering to African Americans as 'negros', accurate term but usage of that term reveals some discrimnatory prejudice behind the use. It's a regional dialect thing, which I assumed it was (and stated in my first post). This California information tip was brought to you by the letter Q. The link to the comments by Heinsoo was execellent and just the type of thing I was looking for. WOTC and Hasbro seemed to have taken some care when selecting facilities for minature production, which is a good thing, and a precursory check of some websites that monitor offenders of labor laws did not turn up WOTC name on the lists,(though I must admit it was a very quick search).
