Cameron Diaz, who was recently in Peru to record a TV program about local culture, has apologized for carrying a bag with a political slogan that was offensive to the Peruvian people. The Shrek star was spotted at the historical Machu Picchu site sporting a green bag with a red Chinese star and the slogan “serve the people” written in Chinese. This appearance has prompted criticism from Pablo Rojas, a prominent local human rights activist. The slogan evokes memories of the 1980s and 90s Peruvian war against Maoist rebels, during which about 69,000 people died. Diaz says she was not aware of the slogan’s hurtful nature. “I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended,” the actress said in a statement.
OOOOOOOPS! My Bad!
I think she’s lucky she didn’t wear her Dirty Sanchez tee-shirt that day, that would’ve been the taco that broke the burros back!
