Racism is alive and well in Mexico too
Posted by enrico | Under Living in Mexico Sunday Sep 18, 2005…and it’s the kind of racism that is so ingrained, people don’t even see it that way. Take for example the comments President Vicente Fox said, about Mexican immigrants doing jobs “that not even blacks would want to do.” Or better yet, how about the Memin the Penguin stamps that the Mexican government put out this summer?
But you don’t have to go the government to find such common, everyday examples. You just have to go to the local grocery store or 7-11 to find glaring examples. (after following link, click “next” two more times). There’s no need for this. Say what you want, but the injustice of Speedy Gonzalez doesn’t compare, sorry.
To top it all off, it tastes horrible…
