Could We Be A Little Bit Of That We Condemn?
A female employee was working on controlling the traffic just at the entrance of Arequipa City, Peru. As the local government is fixing the road, somebody has to indicate the drivers to pass in order. Another woman inside her car and a little drunk was very impatient inside her car waiting to pass, but the employee was not doing that but leaving a bus to pass.
The driver set in anger decided to engine forward anyway. The employee, fearing the car could hit her, eluded it as fast as she could. One of the wheels rolled over one of her feet, crunching it mostly as the further medical test proved.
The driver, seeing the employee could stop her car, picked down and began to argue the employee. Well, to insult her to be more accurate. Many of the insults, as the video that somebody recorded to show, were evidently racist. Five minutes of the "best" repertory of expressions based on the appearance of the employee.
The driver came to be a food engineer. The employee just got the job to feed her three kids.
Once the video released, people on social media deplored the behavior of the engineer who can face now 7 years in jail for minor wounds and 120 days of communitarian work for discrimination. Both are crimes, according to Peru's Penal Code.
Not only Peru, not only Latin america. Discrimination is a world problem about we could not find a solution until this very moment. Yes, I know it is pretty ancient as the humankind is it, but our efforts to promote tolerance as the way seem not to work at all.
Maybe the problem passes to recognize some unsolved issues in ourselves which differences like to be a threat, not an opportunity... to build a nice, better, and fair society, of course.
We have a long way to walk for having a solution as something real, indeed, but if we don't start to walk that way, we will deploring scenes as the Arequipa's one. Waht will your contribution be?
