Well then he should look at the President of Mexico who looks pretty white also.

Be careful what you ask for Mario.
You'll get books where all of the characters are Hispanic and gay.

If we could just rid the world of white people (except gays and super rich liberals), the world would be a must happier place, more stable and undoubtedly more profitable. And by white people, I mean specifically males. Sarcasm over.

Go back to Mehico and the main characters will be Mehican.

Oh, give me a break. If they want “brown” kids in kids books, then they need to tell their parents not to leave Latin countries.
If I moved to Mexico, I expect I’d find it hard to find many blondes in kids books...boohoo!!!

You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You’ve got to be carefully taught!

Hey Mario, stare at this for a while:
He's not famous for his skin color.

About ten years ago, I was with my little nephew, and I remember watching some dopey TV show/network. In a skit, a girl who was likely 10-13 years old, pulled down the pants of a boy and a laugh track followed. Imagine if a boy stripped a girl. That is minor to what is happening in the continues denigration of our society.

Well, that’s just rough there kiddo.
If you go to Espana you will see your progenitors are actually a bunch of white people with brown eyes. In fact, large portions of Spain were once dominated by the Moors and dem peeps is straight up white.
Got a friend who is whiter than me and of Mexican descent but, has Moorish blood in her.
