My Nissan was built in Mississippi. So why's my neighbor whining "You didn't buy American"?

I mean, it was built in America by American labor. What's the big deal?

    Probably because he is uninformed. To be honest though, your car was ASSEMBLED in the states. Many parts came from Japan.

    Because he's not aware that it was actually assembled in Mississippi.

    It' likely that the parts were manufactured across several continents.

    Ford is an American company, however, as you can see from the attached list of plants, the components of their vehicles are manufactured world wide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ford_factorie...

    You're just empowering and enriching foreign corporations. It's like being colonized, which Americans like to do but don't like it to happen to them.
