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.
I’m usually all about blaming whitey for most troubles, but maybe this is a bit much. From the Financial Times, by way of a colleague.  (My eyes are green, and probably bloodshot by the way.)
