Obama only hires the best and the brightest!

And here I thought only white people could be racist:

The United States has apologised for controversial remarks made by a US diplomat who spoke of “dark and dirty” Indians, calling the comments “inappropriate”.

US Vice-Consul Maureen Chao told Indian students on Friday that her “skin became dirty and dark like the Tamilians” after a long train journey, according to Indian media — referring to people from the southern state of Tamil Nadu.

The joke  that there are probably millions of people in other regions of India who feel the same way about the Tamils, but now they’re feigning outrage.
