> cheap Chinese crap

It may rhyme but it remains offensive.

Can you please change that? Maybe not for that post, as it is too late, but for your future posts?

How's that offensive? Sounds like it's a factual description of a certain category of products - namely, low quality ones made in China. I don't think the products take offense.
But most of the stuff in a dollar store is cheap goods manufactured in China. Was it the word "crap"? Maybe "cheap Chinese goods" would be more palatable?
Just that makes a world of difference to me.
Fair enough. But I have to agree with the GP: it's crap.
Seriously?
