MEXICO CITY -- President Vicente Fox reversed course yesterday and apologized for saying that Mexicans in the United States do the work that blacks won't.
Despite growing criticism that included a stern U.S. response, Mr. Fox had refused repeatedly to back away from the comments he made Friday, saying they had been misinterpreted.
But in telephone conversations with the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton, Mr. Fox said he "regretted" the statement.
