white assembly tax

The extra price people pay for "luxury" goods just because they were built by white people.

The white assembly tax inspires a false confidence in quality and and an unsupported assurance that the product is the best.

The white assembly tax is confirmed to be added to the price of a product if it is made in Germany, or some other European country.

Ikea and countries formerly part Soviet Union have been known to damage the effect.
It can apply to cars, apparel, even stationary.
Aaron prided himself in his crayon set purchase knowing that the wax was shaped and dyed in Germany.

As soon as Tim saw that the stapler was made in Italy, he took an instant liking to it, even though the stapler next to it from Myanmar was 20% cheaper due to the lack of white assembly tax. The Myanmar stapler also shot lasers and made long distance calls for free.

Apple is sneaky. They affix a "Designed in California" sign to justify the price premium for their products by the white assembly tax. However, they're stuff is still made in China.

Ansem the Wise

(Warning: Major spoilers ahead!)
A character who first appeared in Kingdom Hearts 2, he was a scientist who ruled over Radiant Garden, a world that would be later named Hollow Bastion before being renamed back. He was overthrown by his apprentices, led by "Xehanort", who was actually Terra possessed by Master Xehanort. He later donned a new handle, DiZ, which stood for "Darkness in Zero".

During this time, he sought revenge against his apprentices, up to the point of being absolutely harsh and discriminative towards Roxas. Towards the end of KH2, he attempted to "encode" the artificial Kingdom Hearts made by Xemnas using a special machine, but it ultimately blew up and killed him. However, before it did, he realized the errors of his ways and apologized to Roxas.

Later, he was seen by Aqua in the Realm of Darkness, donning the black coat of the Organization XIII, having lost almost all of his memories.

In Dream Drop Distance, it was revealed that he stored some of his data inside Sora's memories

Then, in KH3, he is seen alive and back in the Realm of Light, but it is unknown whether he is now a part of the Organization or not.
Person 1: Who is Ansem the Wise?

Person 2: Oh! He was a scientist who ruled over a world called Radiant Garden.

Arsema

Arsema's are VERY funny and very fearless. She'll do any dare you say. Arsema's also very sassy and sometimes very annoyed.

It's hard for arsema's to trust you, but if your a true friend, The'lll stand up for you no matter what. Arsema's love being complemented and getting gifts.

Arsema's always feel welcome around something soft and warm. If you see a Arsema sad, give them a few seconds alone and then ask what's wrong?

Arsema's like a lot of space, so don't get close if you aren't her best of freinds.
Bully: HAHA! What are you wearing. That's so disgusting.

Arsema: Go away! Leave them alone, you always trying to be in people's business.

Bully: Why don't you mind YOUR own business.

Arsema: Your the one who started this mess, smart one!
