Vicente Fox apologizes for remark about blacks. Fox had praised the dedication of Mexicans working in the United States, saying they're willing to take jobs that "even blacks" won't do.

When I first heard his remarked I winced. And I knew it would draw fire from the "black leadership" here in the U.S. But if you review the remark, doesn't it say something worse about Mexicans? I mean, he was saying that they do the most menial work, right? So if he was insulting blacks, wasn't he insulting Mexicans even more? And Given that he is Mexican himself, wouldn't that be insulting himself?

I'm not defending him or what he said. I just think that it is an interesting observation.
