These days we ought to be 'world citizens'. Nationalism/tribalism is probably
a corollary of our fallenness. (See several articles on our website on this
theme)...

Are you really looking for the position of the manufacturer ? Is it ethical for them to
mark their products in this way especially given that they are likely basing it on the
narrowest definition of the phrase you might consider possible.
Hell no, I think if a person buys as a result of this type of labelling they deserve to be
taken however an unsrupulous might decide to do so.
