Ah well I have up close and personal experience with the Spanish imperialist minded. The fact that Vicente Fox is a snob is nothing new.

Vincente Fox is not "Spanish" or "Hispanic" in the sense of being someone of Spanish ethnicity or ancestoral descent from the Ibero-Roman people of Spain and Portugal. I've never heard of any Spaniard named "Fox". Nor any Spaniard named "Sahagun", as in his wife, Marta Sahagun. Its a bit of stretch to claim he is a representative of "the Spanish imperialist mind" when he is not Spanish.

I know Vicente Fox is not Spanish, growing up in Spain but he has that mindset of race/class that characterizes the upper classes obsession with tweezing apart one's racial background.

He is 3/4 Spanish descent and 1/4 Irish which must account for the "Fox"

He is 3/4 Spanish. Straight out of Spain to Mexico + 2-3-4 generations
