G20 Must Address the 'White Blue Eyed Bankers' Issue

Certainly the author intended no racism in the piece - as the title of the piece suggests it is the issue and not the color of the skin that is the important takeaway from Lula's remark.
I don't know whether he (Lula) meant his comment in a racist fashion - it doesn't actually matter from my perspective - rather his comments should be seen symbolically as an attack on the cultural mindset of what is often referred to as the Anglo Saxon model of finance.
Getting sidetracked into thinking about this matter from the point of race is like getting irate about the 0.1% of the rescue monies paid out to AIG executives in bonuses while overlooking the other 99.9% that the taxpayer has shoveled into this company.
And we should all consider ourselves lucky if no more is required before this crisis is over.
