    It's one thing to insult a group of people based on their background, it's entirely another to dismiss a group at a private manufacturer as 'drunks.' One is a racist jab, the other is a joke. Very fine line between them.

    His statement is an inaccurate generality. Yours was an bigoted statment about an ethnicity.

    Not even that, should be perma ban. This is 2016. It's disgusting - TW is a melting pot of various ethnicities. Whether he's worried about offending someone or not does not, or at least should not, represent TW personnel for those to read.

    As someone who works closely with major manufacturing facilities I'd say you're way off if you believe that.

    Edit: quoted the wrong post. That was in regards to line workers not being skilled.

    Wow this escalated quickly....

    Relax guys I'm sure he isn't really a racist. I find it funny, and with that being said the employees at the Mexico plant are busting ass. They don't have the machines and robots that they have in Texas and they are cranking out a shit ton of vehicles. Sure you can't say the 3rd gen has problems and some might try to throw the Mexico plant under the bus, but lots of problem trucks coming from San Antonio Texas too.

    I'd take a truck from a Toyota Mexican plant any day over a Chrysler/GM one

    All seriousness...it really is just an ID mark. It allows for quick identification of the correct part and/or wether the part is installed correctly (ie which end goes where) during assembly and inspection.
