In favor or against (Irusta- Miranda)

Racism is a clear and cruel reality in our society that affects especially vulnerable people. Since childhood people are accustomed to discriminate anyone who differs from what they are, who do not correspond to a standard culture, on the basis of the belief that they are remarkably above them. Thus people who discriminate are not aware at all about the amount of suffering caused to other´s integrity. In most cases these people are not capable of expressing their dreams and desires freely, the presence of opportunities to progress within any society are fewer in comparison to other members, moreover their self steem is so profoundly damaged that “different people” finally believe that, for no reason at all, mistreating them is definitely worthy. Each time someone is treated unfavorably an entire “future” is restricted. Therefore, minorities are usually excluded from the common places and this brings about frustration.
