Discrimination
- 2. ~Why people do that ? Sometimes we need to feel better than the others, Perfect. It’s our nature, so, how can we do that? We deacrease the feelings from people who is different to us. That’s the way ‘Racism’ has born, and nowadays it has become a constant war. But, is that ok? If we discriminate people we are just showing our insecurity and hurting others’ feelings… If someone does that to you, HOW WILL YOU FEEL?
- 3. ~What is Racism ? Racism is a way of discrimination to people with a different nationality or skin complexion. Racism decreases the Human rights and it started in the XIX century, in Europe, to justify the ‘ White supremacy ’ (the belief that people with pale skin are better than people with darker skin) over the rest of the Mankind. We don’t have to mistake ‘Racism’ for ‘ Xenophobia ’. Racism is a feeling of superiority, while Xenophobia is a feeling of hate and dislike to foreigners .
- 4. ~Racism in Argentina People who are very discriminated because of the immigration from near countries are the Bolivians, Peruvians, Cubans,etc. They are victims of hurting jokes and ‘’strange’’ nicknames. They have been looking for a job since they arrived, but they just work for a bad wage and under terrible conditions. They accept that kind of ‘Slavery’ (they work for near 18 hours) because they need the necessary money to meet their needs. At schools, sometimes, immigrants’ children are discriminated too and they’re excluded from groups of students. Not all of them are illegal, but the government is responsible for them. We don’t have to forget that most of us are descendants of immigrants like them. And we also have to respect native people, and aborigines.
