Mexico releases controversial comic:-
MEXICO CITY | July 09, 2005 3:11:29 AM IST


A Mexican publisher is reissuing a controversial comic book about a black character following a recent row over his depiction in a postage stamp.

The popular Memin Pinguin Mexican comic book from the 1940s is hitting newsstands to popular acclaim, El Universal newspaper reported.

Last week U.S. race activists criticized said the stamps were racially insensitive and demanded they be recalled.

Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez said the U.S. criticism was a sign of a a total lack of understanding of our culture and a total lack of respect for our culture, El Universal newspaper reported Friday.

Memin Pinguin is drawn with exaggerated features used by old cartoonists to depict black characters and is often the target of jokes by his white friends.

Yet it is okay for their citizens to enter our country illegally and not conform or even try to understand our culture. Is that what you would call racist hypocrites?

WHAT AN IDIOTIC STATEMENT!!

If you gave Mr. Derbez 10 IQ points he might qualify as a moron.

If this is an example of your "culture," then you don't have any.
We have low expectations and you can't even meet them.

Well, I think it demonstrates who the REAL racists are quite clearly. Mexico is so racist, they do not even comprehend what makes the stamps racist. It could not have been more bigoted stereotyping if they had the character with a watermelon in one hand and BBQ ribs in the other. Their lack of comprehension speaks volumes about the character of the Mexican people when their most educated and elite think in this manner.
