My indignation

In all the blogs I read what my classmates think and what bothers them, so I have thought a lot, and one of the things that gives me the most indignation of our society are the discriminations against foreigners.

I live and have lived all my life in the commune of Quilicura, known as “the new Haití”, because the number of immigrants from that country who live there. They usually stay in populations like Parinacota and La Huelen and subsist in deplorable conditions. In most cases are a lot of families sharing a room, without drinking water and electric light.

Every Sunday you can found them in the bus stops, very well dressed to go to church. If you greet them, they respond kindly with a smile in their faces. So, when I hear someone make xenophobic comments against them, I burst into rage.

They are people like us, who have had to leave their country because of circumstances outside of them. Must come to an unknown country to seek better opportunities and found ignorant people who discriminate them for their skin color, saying that they come to steal the work.

As society, I think we have a lot to learn if we still see the foreigner as an enemy, and we don’t realize that the enemy is elsewhere.
