| Quote: | MEXICO CITY (AP) - Many here south of the border reveled in her disastrous evening: First Miss USA Rachel Smith slipped and fell on her bottom during the Miss Universe evening gown competition. Then she was booed by hundreds in the Mexican audience.
The treatment of the Tennessee beauty queen was nothing personal. It had more to do with Mexico's sometimes tense relationship with its powerful northern neighbor.
U.S. athletes have sparked a similar response. In 2005, when the U.S. played Mexico during a World Cup soccer qualifier, the crowd booed the U.S. national anthem and a smattering of fans chanted "Osama! Osama!" during the game.
Smith was booed repeatedly during her stay in Mexico, including last week, when she carried a guitar and wore an Elvis-style suit during a parade of national costumes held in downtown Mexico City.
She kept her poise during an interview Monday night with pageant judges, despite the boos and chants of "Mexico! Mexico!" that drowned out her answer. |

Obviously, those examples indicate very bad manners on the part of the Mexicans. They should have paid attention to how graciously the Athenians received the US Team in the 2004 Olympics, when American politics were just as repulsive. Even though I have some sympathy towards Mexicans (and others) who are trying to obtain a better life for themselves and their families, I'm really starting to tire of Mexico's attitude towards the US. They should be trying to charm the US people into opening the borders instead of painting us as bad guys. Their government is too corrupt and lopsided for them to be pointing fingers, and booing. |
