		Fox responded that he had grown up reading the Memin Pinguin comic books and that the character is ''loved in Mexico'' and ''has absolutely nothing discriminatory about it.'' Fox helped push through an anti-discrimination law in 2003; he is not blind to the blight of racism in Mexico.
		But here, as in his reluctance to apologize for his earlier statement that ''not even fls'' would take the jobs being done by Mexican immigrants, Fox is sowing discord, not reaching out for unity.

	The NarcoSphere \|\| Understanding the Memín Pinguín argument
		But other than Juan Angel, the reaction to the Memin Pinguín controversy in Mexico would mainly be characterized by the concept of "ignorant gringo cultural imperialism." You would have had to see the raised eyebrows and scornfully amused expressions on Mexican TV commentators as they discussed this to fully appreciate the utter lack of protest.
		So, the &#147;Memin Pinguin” stamp may very well be offensive to Jesse Jackson and other African American leaders, and diplomats in Mexico would be well-advised to be aware of that fact.
		The &#147;Memin Pinguin” stamp, though, is just a stamp, but it may well be delivering us a message about the disease.
