I didn't compare it, just found it. I think they put the old record to new episode

That'd be hard cause they would have to dress the same and look two years younger.

Frankly, I've never really understood the "lazy Mexican" stereotype. If they were so lazy, why are they sneaking across the US/Mexico border to do the agricultural jobs that no one else wants to do because of the low pay? Why are there always throngs of them outside hardware stores offering to install whatever you're buying for dirt cheap? And why is it whenever I drive a box truck (moving van) I always have a handful of them trying to get my attention to hire them to help me move?


 
major bump here, but I thought of this discussion when I read this news item on CNN:

mexicans are actually by far the hardest working people on the entire planet, if you combine paid work and unpaid work like chores (3rd hardest working if you only count paid work).

Problem is mexicans work hard but earn little, if the pay was proportional things would be different
