So?

You are aware that these are "issues" from your "point of reference".

Someone else consider that the US has a bad human rights record. Does that mean that he should boycott US companies/fund?

No no, that is not my point of reference only.

Also, the US isn't part of this discussion right now. And I am not from the US.

Why would you boycott an investment based on anything other than potential profit? You don't get an account statement showing karma profit and loss.

That's exactly my point. Morals are relative. A dollar is a dollar, however.
