Racism in Chile: Our worst face

Hello friends, today I would like to talk about a serious problem: racism in Chile, our worst face. Racism in Chile has many different forms and I would like to talk about three specific that we can see in the society.

First, racism against indigenous people. It is easy to see how people speak pejoratively about them, saying things like they are lazy, alcoholic and other bad things. People don't try to understand his culture and his form of life. This problem has existed since the dictatorship, when the goverment installed a racist education where children were not allowed to speak in his language and his culture was discriminated. Secondly, racism against inmigrants. Here I will talk about two kinds: Peruvian and black people.The first ones are the largest group of inmigrant in Chile and they are very discriminated in our country. Chilean people think they are superior to peruvians, they think they are ugly, they think they are “indios”, "dirty people", so they think peruvians are a bad group of immigrant. Nevertheless, chilean people don't think the same way about europeans or “Gringos”, so we can see that skin colour is the cause of this discrimination, that is racism. Finally, I am talking about a new group of immigrants: black people coming from Haiti. They are a new group in Chile and chilean people have a bad opinion about them. Chileans sometimes say that black people are bad, they are lazy and they have come to steal chileans work, so in general our society reject them. In conclusion, with this examples we can see how racism exists in our country and it is something very bad, so we need to try to change this behavior in order to have a better society.
