U.S. (South Carolina) State Senator Robert Ford said "brothers" don't work as hard as Mexicans. He continued on saying his "blue-eyed brothers" don't [work as hard],  either during a Senate committee debate over immigration law. "We need these workers here. A lot of people aren't going to do certain type of work in this country," said Ford. "The brothers are going to find ways to take a break. Ever since this country was built, we've had somebody do the work for us." Did I mention that Ford is African-American?  Now read this blog entry about the BBC calling Mexicans lazy.
