If your attendees include those of African American heritage, that Mexico meeting might not go over so well.
First Mexico President Vicente Fox uttered the unfortunate phrase that has ticked so many people of all colors off when he said that Mexican migrants take jobs in the United States that "not even blacks" want. Now they've issued stamps featuring characters from the Memin Pinguin comic books (click on image above for a larger view of why people find this offensive).
I understand, but do not buy, the argument that this comic book is a part of Mexico's heritage. It's a comic book, for pete's sake! Anyway, thought you might want to know.
