La caricatura mexicana


Vísperas de la visita de Hillary Clinton a México, Enrique Krauze publica hoy un Op-Ed en el NYT The Mexican Evolution en ella, apela a los Estados Unidos: no se confundan. México no es un estado fallido ni tampoco la tierra de los capos, tenemos un problema y sí, ustedes también.

"While we bear responsibility for our problems, the caricature of Mexico being propagated in the United States only increases the despair on both sides of the Rio Grande. It is also profoundly hypocritical. America is the world’s largest market for illegal narcotics. The United States is the source for the majority of the guns used in Mexico’s drug cartel war, according to law enforcement officials on both sides of the border.
...
Nor, for that matter, did anyone ever see Al Capone and the criminal gangs of Chicago as representative of the entire country. For Mexico as well, let’s leave caricatures where they belong, in the hands of cartoonists. "
