Jews, Mexicans demand inclusion in Legault's steretypes

The Quebec B'nai Brith and the Mexican Business Association of Quebec have asked why Francois Legault ignored Jews and Mexicans during his recent stereotyping of youth and immigrants.

Francois Legault criticized Quebec's youth yesterday for dropping out of school and searching for the "easy life" where they could finish work by 4:00 pm.  He urged Quebec youth to be more like Asian immigrant children, who were often at the head of their classes.

"What about us?  By his glaring omission, is he suggesting that Jews aren't studious or that Mexicans aren't lazy?", asked the two groups at a joint news conference.  "We want Mr. Legault to immediately clarify whether he supports the stereotyping of all of Quebec's cultural communities, not just Asians."
