Since you can search for products made in specific countries, wouldn't this have less of a racist appeal if it was called "Made Here" instead of "Not Made There"?

For example, I live in Canada and like to buy things made here. This site would be useful for that, regardless of my feelings about Chinese (or any other country's) products, government, etc.

"Born at the height of the US/Canada trade spat, Made in Canada is compiling a list of Canadian products in one place, so you can support Canadian businesses and Canadian workers. We’re also a fine resource if you’re looking for alternatives to Chinese-made products, given the country’s recent anti-Canadian actions."

Race is not a factor here. You can blame a gay person for bad actions without being a homophobe.
