Australia like stepping back in time, says Sol Trujillo

Sol Trujillio... Trujeelow?? ... bah too hard to spell... said that Australia is racist. He felt he needed to insult the entire country on public TV in an act so classless we can all rejoice in his departure. I, personally, adore the richness of Mexican culture - and so does Australia. Look at that ad for taco shells where the country celebrates making one that stands on its own.
According to my 'Big Australian Guide To Culture', the mexican must have been fired and deported for being 'lazy', 'smelly' and 'hogging the microwave with his stinky burritos'. So I don't know what his problem is. As a white male, my glowing christian skin furrows with confusion about why he doesn't just go back to sacrificing coconuts to his monkey god.
Seriously though, maybe he experienced some cultural slurs but who HASN'T? I'm sure you reading this have, and it didn't make you cry. Once, I told this Chinese-Australian guy that I was one eighth German and he asked if I'm related to Hitler. Whatever. Plus look at Sol:
It's not like he's attracting the kind of attention that wearing a burqa, having a bindi or not being white may attract. I think all Sol accomplished with his comments was showing what a bitter individual he is, and these comments will follow him forever through his personal and business life whenever he crosses an Australian or someone who has been to Australia. Enjoy ^_^
