A dermatologist friend of mine trained in a virtually all-white area and then got a job in a place that wasn't. Apparently it was a significant adjustment caring for patients with darker skin.

I don't know, but it's a complicated question since Boeing uses European suppliers (e.g. Safran) and has its own manufacturing operations in Europe. Edit: Actually, the factory I'm referring to is in the UK.

Your point is well taken but that generation GLA/CLA as sold in the US is perhaps the worst recent Mercedes - they do currently make some solidly built cars. An XC60 is an upgrade in every way other than horsepower.
