Mexican President Peña: Mexico will honor Mandela by being more egalitarian.
Mandela (from the grave): Uh-huh...start with the numerous black people there.
Speaking from experience, I can tell you that Mexicans are very color-conscious -- and far from being above racism. There is a small population of native born black people in the country but from the stares and pointed fingers I get (even when I have my shirt on) it is evident seeing real-live black persons is still a novelty. Just to be clear, the year is now 2013.
What do you make of it: think the cartoon is making a point of color injustice or economic injustice?
