Mexico's Fox is more like turkey

Mexican President Vincente Fox is being heavily criticized for comments relating ethnic background and immigration policy. I think the president should resign over the stupidity of such a remark.

Why are people from different countries

If you look at the history of the twentieth century, you notice that these two indigenous groups of people have caused the most change in the most places.
