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.

Well gosh, if we tweeze apart his background in the same manner, I think we would find him the descendant of German or Polish Jews named Fuchs. Where does that leave him as an examplar of Mexicans or Hispanics?

It is an attitude that is common with people like Fox. They would probably kill themselves if they found any indian blood in them. You do not know the color issues that Mexico and Mexicans have.

Here this is what was said by Miss Bolivia during the Miss Universe contest. Vicente Fox is a softcore color/ethnic bigot. If you aren't white, you know when you are in the presence of such a person. If you are white, then you know them too by the lengths they go to prove how white they are, in fact whiter than you.

Bolivia - This low-lying city on the edge of the Amazon has long had something of a superiority complex, which was put embarrassingly on display in June at the Miss Universe competition. Bolivia's contestant, Gabriela Oviedo, a strapping Santa Cruz native, told judges that not all her countrymen were "poor people and very short people and Indian people."


"I'm from the other side of the country, from the east, where it's not cold," she added. "It's very hot, and we're tall, and we are white and can speak English."
