President Vicente Fox on Sunday defended his commitment to minorities and human rights on a U.S. radio program, in his first public response to his controversial comment that Mexicans take the U.S. jobs that "not even" blacks want according to an AP article by Morgan Lee.
This one is quite interesting. I watched Rev. Sharpton on Faux News last night and Oliver North standing in for Hannity acted as if he didn't get it. The man said that Mexicans are taking jobs that "not even Blacks want." Use of the word 'even' automatically put Blacks in a lower category than the rest of Americans.
I don't know how I feel about boycotting Mexico; they are already broke in the first place. President Fox acts as if just because he supports minority rights that he didn't make a statement that was racist and disparaging. If Mexicans, who come over here and get treated like crap, have a president talking bad about Blacks, how far down in the muck and mire are we.
Think now. He is saying that Mexicans are so honorable, hard-working and eager to demonstrate the American dream that they will take jobs that too good Americans or even them lazy Blacks won't take. Jeez.
