reading a national newspaper, drew my attention to a story about two female Tzeltal Indians, native to the state of Chiapas who had the occurrence of a walk in an exclusive commercial center of the city of Mexico, specifically in the area of \u200b\u200bPolanco, Cecilia, and Petrona, they set a later get to the mall, "Antara Polanco" and before the incredulous eyes of security personnel wanted to take pictures, but the staff prevented them.
walked through the mall, entered very elegant boutiques, bags and shoes, and of course could not buy anything because of the high cost of the items sold there.
ride lasted three hours before prying eyes and even outraged by his presence there, teasing and whispered comments were swift, and not be said of excessive surveillance, they needed several stitches, or perhaps, aware of the fact, preferred to leave passing the incident, to enjoy, at least visually, of the luxuries offered by the mall.
The case of these women could be an anecdote of the many that exist on ethnic discrimination, but the worrying thing is that what we "freak", leads us to do what we do not like us to do.
is precisely this fear of something different which leads to discrimination, probably in a very subtle disguise, but in the end it is about discrimination especialistas_ _dijeran the "low level".
In general, women, indigenous, disabled, seniors, gays and religious minorities feel discriminated against. But the disabled and homosexuals who live with this social rejection throughout his life.
The first and only National Survey on Discrimination in Mexico by the federal government in 2006, yielded interesting information on the subject, and in relation to the Indians, came to the conclusion that, at first glance, the average Mexican does not gives unequal treatment the indigenous population, in fact, there is a deal of consideration for this group, however, still permeates a culture of discrimination of the average Mexican.
In this survey, 43% believe that the Indians will always have a social limitation for their racial characteristics, while one of every three Mexicans think that all you have to make the Indians out of poverty is not behaving as indigenous. The most astonishing result is that the Mexicans ask if they would accept that a group of Indians was established near their community, 40% of respondents would be willing to organize with others to request that would enable the indigenous group established nearby.
In our country, and in the world, unfortunately we stigmatize people by their appearance, race, language, education, sexual preference, color or religion, as if only there was a way of seeing the world as if you had the truth absolute one way or another we are all born different, different in physical appearance, personality, ideology, in tastes and preferences in the way they walk, dress and interact with others, and respect this diversity we can live in harmony, always taking basic principle of coexistence, tolerance.
