“Do you have blacks, too?”

Thursday, June 6th, 2002

This racist gaffe by George W. Bush is hard to believe, but is in fact documented in Der Spiegel: the President, during a meeting with the Brazilian president on April 28, 2002, interrupted him to ask: “Do you have blacks, too?” Condoleezza Rice came to his rescue before he could embarrass himself further.

I can’t vouch for this English translation of the original German.
