| Description | MEXICO CITY - President Vicente Fox said Friday that U.S. activists who have called a new Mexican postage stamp racist do not understand the issue and should read the comic book on which it is based.
"They don't have information, frankly," Fox said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press.
U.S. black activists and the White House have criticized the stamp featuring Memin Pinguin, a black-faced image of a child that has been condemned as racist.
"All Mexico loves the character," Fox said, adding that he himself was fond of it. |
