Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday blamed the global economic crisis on “white people with blue eyes” and said it was wrong that black and indigenous people should pay for white people’s mistakes.

So, how many of you here on Evilbore are at fault for the economic crisis?

I love how everyone conveniently forgets that he is only half-black. ::)

Post by: BobbyRobby on March 27, 2009, 01:50:22 PM: i would be pretty jealous and upset if i didn't have blue eyes of people who did.

edit: this is a pretty fucked up statement considering whites are likely a minority in Brazil. imagine if our president said blacks were the cause of economic problems

Post by: brawndolicious on March 27, 2009, 02:08:15 PM: I'm guessing that by whites, he means not South Americans.

Honestly, his statements do make some sense. His countrymen are apparently very upset with the economy and so the president blames somebody else.

don't you think Bush condemning arabs in the middle east caused some people to resent arabs living in america?

I have brown eyes, so that lets me off the hook this time.

yeah, but I'm not justifying what he said. I'm just saying that it's rational for him to throw the blame onto a bunch of foreigners. I'm guessing this is one of the things that made a country like Poland anti-semitic when there's very few Jews there.
