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.
He added: “I do not know any black or indigenous bankers so I can only say [it is wrong] that this part of mankind which is victimised more than any other should pay for the crisis.”
Mr Brown appeared to distance himself from Mr Lula da Silva’s remarks. “I’m not going to attribute blame to any individuals,” he said.

"...it was wrong that black and indigenous people should pay for white people’s mistakes."
Mistake? The mistake was when whitey/blue eyes gave blacky/brown eyes sub-prime mortgages that they couldn't or wouldn't pay back.

Would you care to elaborate? I'd like to know what your eyes see.

I was just spoofing on your remark that,
My eyes are brown. I'm safe.
My eyes are not only brown, but they are open. And as long as we keep our eyes open, eye color is irrelevant.

Try to remember, Ziggy, I'm not the person judging people based soley on superficial things like eye color or skin color as the President of Brazil just did in a very public way.
