MX: Memin Pinguin Stamps Under Fire From North Of The Border
Mexico has defended the release of a set of stamps showing a popular black cartoon character, following strong criticism from the US.
The White House spokesman said racial stereotypes had no place in the modern world, and civil rights leader Jesse Jackson called the stamps "an insult".
Mexico said Mr Jackson was uninformed about Mexican culture and Memin Pinguin had in fact done a lot to fight racism.
