Talk About Out Of Context

I don't know much about Mexican President Vincente Fox, but after read this brief story, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean his comment to be a slam on African Americans.

According to the article, last week Fox said Mexican immigrants do jobs "that not even blacks want to do there in the United States." Fox made the comment in a speech to visiting Texan business people on Friday, because he was frustrated at stalling by the U.S. Congress on immigration reforms that would help undocumented Mexicans in America.

The U.S. State Department then urged Fox to clarify the "very insensitive and inappropriate remarks."

Could this be the same State Department that is currently "urging" Congress to confirm the nomination of John Bolton, someone who people claim makes a lot of "very insensitive and inappropriate remarks" himself?

Fox may have betrayed his view of African Americans in his comment, but it's very clear to me that further denigrating us was not the intent of his words. It's just hilarious that the State Department's pot dares open it's mouth about Fox's kettle.
