Vicente Fox - racist?

Hector Duarte Jr:

The Mexican President is receiving criticism for comments he made Friday, during a meeting of The Texas-Mexico Frozen Food Council, in Puerto Vallarta.

The President said Mexicans were willing to take jobs, "not even blacks want to do in The United States."

The Reverend Jesse Jackson told CNN, Fox's comments were "unwitting, unnecessary and inappropriate." Saying the President “should not confuse the need for sound legal immigration policy between the two countries, which is important, and the border disputes between the two countries, with a spurious comparison.”

Mexican newspaper, Milenio, mentioned "Vicente Fox's racist comments" on a small front-page headline, and Reforma called the President's words "controversial."
