In a closed-door Capitol Hill briefing on the Haiti crisis today, U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., blasted President Bush for a"racist" policy toward the Caribbean nation carried out by a "bunch of white men."
Brown was speaking to Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega, the State Department's top official for Latin America.
Noriega, who was sitting across the table from Brown when she yelled her remarks into a microphone, later responded, according to the Associated Press: "As a Mexican-American, I deeply resent being called a racist and branded a white man."
Three participants in the meeting said Brown then told Noriega "you all look alike to me."
I'm glad everybody is as CULTURALLY SENSITIVE as I am.
