It just doesn't make sense to me that he'd be saying "you should work with us because we're willing to degrade ourselves more than blacks." If that were the case, Mexicans should be far more pissed off than blacks. If his intent was to insult blacks, then he was insulting Mexicans just as much if not more.
Don't get me wrong, intent aside, it's something he should appologize for. But having to appologize for being insensitive in your wording is a world of difference from having to appologize for intentionally being racially insulting. And I don't he was.
