My indignation
One of the things
that bothers me the most is the treat we have with immigrants, who come to our
country looking for better opportunities. A few weeks ago I read in the news
the story of an haitian worker who was stabbed in the leg, while all his
coworkers were watching with indiference. Even the man who stabbed him
justified himself under the pretext that immigrants are here to steal the job
from us, which is completely false. Immigrants do the jobs that have low demand
in Chile, like construction or cleaning. In fact, a lot of them have studies in
different areas, but the chilean State don't recognize it, so they cannot work
in their speciallities.
It's important to change the
vision that our country have about the immigrants, it's necessary to be empathic
and think about a situation that all of us can be expose sometime. Recently has
been news about the haitians immigrants celebrating the triumphs of Chile in
the Confedarations Cup, shouting Alexis Sánchez and Jean Beausejour (who also
has hatian blood) names. So how can we discriminate people who feels
identificate with our country and have made it their home?
Here, education has a lot of importance, teaching
respect for other cultures and the richness of diversity. Understand that this
world is of everyone and nationalism won't take us anywhere.
