NYT: Barring of Bolivian Plane Infuriates Latin America as Snowden Case Widens

[sabrina 1]

43. How condescending and completely Imperialistic of them to think that an intelligent man

like Morales would act like a common drug dealer. The racism in our policy and in general, as the leaders of Latin America remarked on themselves, is simply disgusting.

Would they ever in their wildest imaginations assume such behavior by a 'white' European leader? Of course not.

Those Brown people who have had the temerity to establish their Independence, how dare they, are likely to act like common thugs and ignore the ramifications of such an act, ignore the rules of extradition?? How arrogant to make such an assumption.

Morales is far too intelligent to even consider such a thing when there are many other agreed upon International rules for such a case.

But the fact that this was assumed about him, only confirms the disgusting racism still prevalent in the former, still Imperial, Colonists in Europe and here, as Correa and other Latin American leaders pointed out tonight.

I hope they are learning a lesson from this, but I doubt it, having had experience with some of the 'elite' there and here. In their eyes, which has never escaped Latin Americans and is the reason why they formed their version of NATO, those 'people' are still 'colonists' or should be.

Disgusting.
