Condoleezza Rice, 47, US-Sicherheitsberaterin, half ihrem Chef aus peinlicher Lage. Bei einem Gespräch der beiden amerikanischen Präsidenten George W. Bush, 55, (USA) und Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, (Brasilien) hatte Bush seinen Amtskollegen mit der Frage verblüfft: "Sie haben auch Schwarze?" ("Do you have blacks, too?") Rice, die bemerkte, wie erstaunt der Brasilianer ob der Frage war, rettete die Situation, indem sie Bush aufklärte: "Präsident, Brasilien hat wahrscheinlich mehr Schwarze als die USA, man sagt, es ist das Land mit den meisten Schwarzen außerhalb Afrikas." Cardoso urteilte hinterher: Was Lateinamerika betreffe, befinde sich Bush "noch in der Lehrzeit".

Condoleezza Rice, 47, US national security advisor, helped her boss from an embarrassing situation. During a discussion between the two American presidents George W. Bush, 55, (the USA) and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, (Brazil) Bush astonished his colleague with the question: "you also have black ones?" ("DO you have blacks, too?") Rice, noticing how astounded the Brazilian President was at the question, saved the situation, by clarifying Bush's question: "Mr. President, Brazil has probably has more blacks than the USA; it is the country with the most blacks outside of Africa." Cardoso opined afterwards: Where Latin America is concerned, Bush "is still in training".
