> There are few requirements for being a production line worker at Foxconn. As long as you are educated to the age of 15, are aged between 16 and a half and 40, and are not Uygur or Tibetan, you’re welcome to apply I guess I should have known that "no Uigurs or Tibetans" would be standard policy at employers like Foxconn. Humans, man. My grandfather grew up in a tiny little town in Pennsylvania where Help Wanted signs frequently came with "no Swedes need apply" small print. Those Swedish immigrants were eventually able to assimilate so successfully that we've almost completely forgotten that history. That experience, though, was something he wanted to make sure his grandchildren understood. The way he told it, other people in our country hadn't been allowed to assimilate in the same way, and it was part of our job as human beings to help change that. I'll be thinking about this, and him, for the rest of the day.
