The rest of the world is as racist as we were 100 years ago. I totally agree. And the hotbed of racism in this country is now centered in the Northeast.

Another side of the impact of immigrants, LA has been losing blacks in a steady stream as the Mexicans pour in They have mainly headed back to the south, or so the LA Times has said (when I still read it). Mexicans in, blacks out; been going on for 20 years now. They don't like each other; we have increased clashes in the public schools here. Nobody in the MSM dares comment on why it might be happening, probably because they're afraid of being non-PC.

No excuse. He owes the world community the respect Americans, Europeans and other "anglo saxon countries" show. He should be soundly chastised and embarrassed. Wonder how a black leader will react next time there is an International forum attended by Fox?

More on Mexico's Fox's racial comments. He doesn't know what the stink is about. And at the risk of sounding very non-PC, my experience is that Mexicans are rarely racist. What Fox said sounds horrid to our ears, but IMO is not indicative of systematic, insitutionalized racism. Mexicans have had a lot of experience mixing Spanish blood with Indian blood, and have assimilated the two. Juarez, a very dark-skinned fellow, was the equivalent of our Lincoln and was pure Zapotec Indian. I see a lot, a whole lot more racism here from Mexican Americans than I do from Mexicans who remained in Mexico. abcnews.go.com
