Mexico On Racial Discrimination Issues

Mexico on racial discrimination issues

In the light of the findings, it seems appropriate to consider that one of the greatest challenges to face is: update and reposition the indigenous problem, generating curiosity and an interest that captures the complexity of this issue, its wealth, as well as its evolution and Current status, in addition to increasing awareness that stereotypes are not only inaccurate, but also cause discrimination. Another task to face is to work to illuminate Mexicans about the validity and value of indigenous peoples in the modern national landscape, without neglecting their vulnerability to marginalization and discrimination.

In terms of the material and symbolic distribution of wealth, Mexican social reality reinforces these ideas and prejudices that still subsist around indigenous people. The conditions experienced by the indigenous population remain unchanged and is done very little to balance real possibilities and probabilities among indigenous and non -indigenous Mexicans to have similar social conditions and opportunities. Inequity in ethnic terms not only shows how daily racism operates, but is also a proof of how ineffective the recent policies undertaken have been.

Social education is very important, since racism is also a problem of individual ignorance or prejudice that leads to social damage to specific racial groups. Racial attitudes are preventing Mexico from making the necessary progress far from racism. These attitudes generate unequal dualities, which makes it almost impossible to create a truly national project.

Racism creates internal insecurity, since the denial of basic human rights, intolerance and discrimination often lead to confrontation between social groups that endanger democracy, peace, economic and social security of the entire community.

In recent years, Mexico has taken important and decisive steps to overcome its previous denial of racism existence and eliminate discrimination. Now he acknowledges that racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related form of intolerance exist at all levels of society within the country. The visible, but still insufficient efforts of the Mexican government have sought to create an appropriate legal framework and competent bodies to prevent and punish the acts of discrimination that persist.

Unfortunately, it seems that the pattern that was triggered by the events of the fifteenth century is long lasting. The history of the more than sixty groups of indigenous peoples attests innumerable cases of discrimination against their languages, ways of dressing, medical care and justice, but, above all, their exclusion from the benefits of economic, political and social development of the country.

Now it is up to the Mexican State to guarantee the rights of the most defenseless, the most vulnerable, with the obligation to be more effective in the generation of a climate of harmonious social relations with the objective of prevailing tolerance and respect for relations between individuals council council National to prevent discrimination (2009).

It is not possible to guarantee equal and impartial treatment before the law for all persons until society understands that indigenous peoples have a different perception of law and life, and that the racism of a law or way of life ‘white only ‘perpetuates the economy of social and political marginalization of indigenous peoples. In total, racism present in Mexico is dividing and weakening the country.
