Mexican President Vicente Fox on Blacks

President Vicente Fox on African-Americans: The AP reported:

President Vicente Fox came under criticism Saturday after saying Mexicans were willing to take jobs "that not even blacks want to do in the United States."

Fox's remark Friday came a day after Mexico announced it would formally protest recent U.S. immigration reforms, including the decision to extend walls along the border and make it harder for illegal migrants to get driver's licenses.

I've been writing about the economic clash between African-Americans and illegal immigrants for years:

You may find my article on the genetics of Mexicans and, particularly, on the apparent disappearance of African-Mexicans, "Where Did Mexico's Blacks Go?," of interest.

My three part series from 2000 on the whites and Indians in Mexico is, in the view of number of Mexicans who have sent me emails thanking me, the first clear explication of the central conundrum of Mexican political and social life: Why after almost 500 years of interracial marriage is Mexico's ruling class still so European-looking? Fox, for example, is about seven inches taller than George W. Bush and close to a foot taller than the average Mexican:
