Okay - I'm behind the times, I never saw this before.
2005 - A series of five stamps was released Wednesday for general use by the Mexican government. The stamps depict an exaggerated black cartoon character known as Memin Pinguin, a child character from a comic book started in the 1940s and still published in Mexico.
WASHINGTON — The White House on Thursday objected to a postage stamp issued by the Mexican government, saying that “racial stereotypes are offensive no matter what their origin” and have no place in today’s world.
The stamp was issued just weeks after remarks by President Vicente Fox angered black Americans.
In May, Fox riled many by saying Mexican migrants take jobs in the United States that “not even blacks” want. Fox later expressed regret for any offense the remarks may have caused, but insisted his comments had been misinterpreted.
Carlos Caballero, assistant marketing director for the Mexican Postal Service, said the new stamps are not offensive, nor were they intended to be.
“This is a traditional character that reflects part of Mexico’s culture,” Caballero said. “His mischievous nature is part of that character.”
However, Penalosa said many Mexicans still assume all blacks are foreigners, despite the fact that at one point early in the Spanish colonial era, Africans outnumbered Spanish in Mexico.
‘It's from another era’ “At this point in time, it was probably pretty insensitive” to issue the stamps, said Elisa Velazquez, an anthropologist who studies Mexico’s black communities for the National Institute of Anthropology and History.
“This character is a classic, but it’s from another era,” Velazquez said. “It’s a stereotype, and you don’t want to encourage ignorance or prejudices.”
The 6.50-peso (60 cent) stamps — depicting the character in five poses — was issued with the domestic market in mind, but Caballero noted they could be used in international postage as well. A total of 750,000 of the stamps will be issued.
Ben Vinson, a black professor of Latin American history at Penn State University, said he has been called “Memin Pinguin” by some people in Mexico. He said the character’s mother is drawn to look like an old version of the U.S. advertising character Aunt Jemima.
The stamps are part of a series that pays tribute to Mexican comic books. Memin Pinguin, the second in the series, was apparently chosen for this year’s release because it is the 50th anniversary of the company that publishes the comic.
Publisher Manelick de la Parra told the government news agency Notimex the character would be a sort of goodwill ambassador on Mexican letters and postcards. “It seems nice if Memin can travel all over the world, spreading good news,” de la Parra said, calling him “so charming, so affectionate, so wonderful, generous and friendly.”

It is interesting how modern Mexican artists, who are for the most mart Albinos and Mulattoes, depict the past in murals. Note that in most cases, the Aztec are depicted as Indians, not as the Black people that they were.

In Mexico, as well as the other Latin American countries, the Albinos and their "Light-skinned" mulattoes, have conspired to marginalize Blacks and the "Dark-skinned" mulattoes. In Mexico, most dark skinned people are relegated to the bad-lands, or are beggars, or sell trinkets.
Even today, only Bolivia has been able to elect a "Dark-skinned" mulatto as President.

Come-on Sahel, I'm really curious. Are you a lying Albino: Or are you just another Dumb Nigger?
Oh wait - Sahel: Don't tell me you are one of those Turk Mulattoes running around Arabia and North Africa!
Well now - that would certainly explain everything.

ausar - SOMETHING "MUST" BE DONE ABOUT ALL OF THESE IGNORANT ALBINOS COMING ON THE FORUM ARGUING ABOUT THINGS THAT THEY HAVEN'T EVEN THE MOST RUDIMENTARY KNOWLEDGE OF.
You MUST BAN THEM until they have demonstrated some knowledge on these subjects!
It is simply intolerable to constantly have these ignoramuses posting nonsense.
Crush Black Lies - you ignorant Albino piece of sh1t, there must be at least half a dozen studies which detail the Black founding of the Americas. Try reading something BEFORE opening your ignorant Albino mouth
The 2005 study, published by The National Academy of Sciences Cranial morphology of early Americans from Lagoa Santa, Brazil: Implications for the settlement of the New World by Walter A. Neves and Mark Hubbe Laboratório de Estudos Evolutivos Humanos, Departamento de Genética e Biologia Evolutiva, Instituto de Biociências, Universidade de São Paulo, 05508-090 São Paulo, Brazil.

ROTFLMBO, what's that matter Mikey boy you filthy Black racist, White people hater? You wanna be able to to steal everyone else's history unimpeded? If you were trying to paint everyone in history Black, trying to write Whites & everyone else completely out of history like we don't even exist & trying to write yourselves in in our places, we wouldn't even have a reason to be here. Mikey boy White people hater, your site of racist lies is NOT a good source, its full of racist, Afro-centric lies and is only worth looking at if one wants a good laugh LOL. If Ausar won't BAN YOU & NARMER, Clyde, Ironliar, Marc for using racist epithets & stealing others history then why should they ban us Whites for simply defending what belongs to us & defending what belongs to others. I personally think its intolerable that YOU are allowed to use racist epithets while we will get banned if we do so.

There is a reason the people like to show photos of modern day populations across the globe. There is a reason that many of you have never seen photos of UNMIXED fool blooded Aztecs and other indigenous people and why many of you have never seen the pics of the last pure blooded Australians and Tasmanians.
It would be kinda hard for any cracker to say that these afro wearing aztecs were not black right?
