I think Maria Rondon, the director of movie
“Pelo Malo”, would confirm her position about racism in Latin America. In fact,
her film was very controversial and like she said, there are infinitive numbers
of themes that are there on the surface like Racism. Today, 40 percent of Africans live in
cities, and most rural Africans are deeply connected to cities in one way or
order. However, the other 60 percent lives in the middle of poverty and they have
few opportunities to obtain benefits and become to great professionals because the
racism is a reality in our country. For example, it’s very common that black
people is discriminated and they can´t assist to special places which are considerate
only for the white people who have a high social status. So, the black people many times is seen like an uneducated people. For taht reason, is that obvious the stereotypes abouth them. In my opinion we live
seeing an iceberg which we look apparently “equality” with others. But in the
background the differences exist and we need a "mental change” reflected
in actions and not continued with simple words.
I agree with you, to change attitudes necessary education to raise awareness , but clearly not enough , racism is a rational response to defend privileges. is needed is to change the mindset
