Obviously not all politicians have to undergo sensitivity training. At least Mexican President Vincente Fox wasn't paying attention, else he would have reconsidered before making this statement:
"There is no doubt that Mexicans, filled with dignity, willingness and ability to work are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States," he said in a speech broadcast in part on local radio and reported on newspaper web sites.
So what's worse? These dignity laden Mexicans are forced to do menial labor in the United States that's not even fit for blacks, or that Fox is the president of a Third-world country rampant with so much abject poverty that his own government has to produce instructional literature exemplifying ways to enter the United States illegally? That one's too close to call.
