Rob Allyn, the public relations expert hired by the Republic of Mexico to improve its image in the states, believes that American animosity toward immigrants is rooted partly in racism.
"You can smell it. It's like bad art. You know it when you see it," Mr. Allyn told The San Diego Union-Tribune.
One mission is to "correct some of the myths and misperceptions that are out there." Allyn should start by correcting his misperception about supposedly racist Americans. Apparently his $72,000 fee (in published reports) does not buy much public relations acumen these days.
Allyn's office said he was traveling when I called on Friday. I was referred to Jennifer Ring, senior vice president at Allyn & Company Inc.
Are racist Americans part of the problem?
"It would be very easy to fall into the trap of focusing on the negative, but it's our task to let people know all the positive things and facts about Mexico," said Ms. Ring.
But what about Allyn's superhuman sense of smell and virtually X-ray vision that enables him to see racism in American the way a critic of Jackson Pollock would view his art?
"He is standing by that statement," Ring said. "Rob Allyn summed it up perfectly when he said that."
Um, could labeling Americans as racist impact Mexico's public relations campaign?
"I do not think it will have any effect in the campaign," she said. "What will, is telling people the facts about the nation of Mexico."
She declined to give an example of racist myths supposedly harbored by her fellow countrymen.
Allyn's message will include "the good things that are happening in Mexico." Americans will be told that Mexico is a nation on the move, with a flourishing democracy --...

Me, me, I've got one!
Mexicans wear sombreros and sleep under cacti.
If you want to come for a short visit, that's fine. Just stop by the Embassy and pick up your tourist visa. If you're thinking of just violating our borders and staying for however long you feel like...
Stay home.
Love,
America
Yep. North.
So, in essence, Rob Allyn and his crew of spin doctors is going to sell us on Mexico. How about selling Mexico to the illegals so they'll go home? After all, if it's so wonderful, why leave?
A $72,000 whore. When you figure out what that is on an hourly basis, he's no different than a crack ho.
"Apparently his $72,000 fee (in published reports) does not buy much public relations acumen these days"
Where do you find a public relations firm that works for that kind of money "Public relations 'r' us"???????
"How about selling Mexico to the illegals so they'll go home? After all, if it's so wonderful, why leave?"
Yes, really. I think this man sounds very confused.
The "Filthy, racist gringos" will be here for three sold-out performances at the Krannert Auditorium this March...
I think you've got it right. This fella isn't going to win friends or influence people by telling them they are "racists". As others have said, if Mexico is doing so great, why are they encouraging their citizens (even printing maps for them) to leave? It makes no sense!
Your mother got busted for street walking...
By the way, who's your daddy?
I hit abuse on the puke but not sure where the mods are at this morning.
Ah Mexico. The land of manana....
Clean up in aisle 12, please.
I believe she's right, it certainly won't change my mind.
"How about selling Mexico to the illegals so they'll go home"
Choir on your feet.
Ese Gringo Sucio haciendo cosas sucias con tu madre y tus hermanas anoche.
I wonder what bad art smells like?
