Racism & Poverty
Racism is not just an added stress to individuals of minority ethnic groups, but is a pathogen which generates depression.
Racism usually occurs at workplace and schools and is mostly experienced by immigrants and refugees.
The immigrants and refugees are often taken advantage as labour force, human trafficking and even cases of rape and child marriage.
Their human rights must be protected, so they will have the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education to eradicate poverty, and end child marriage.
Being racist towards someone can impact that person a lot, as it can cause depression, low self-esteem, losses in a psychological sense and a sense of helplessness.
Even preteens and teenagers have experienced racism at school and on social media platforms.
If we search on the net we can get a lot of results about teenagers' suicide due to racism and discrimination, because they felt isolated, hated, not accepted in their own society or even worthless.
Racism and discrimination should be stopped because we should be ONE to make this world a greater place. The planet is for everyone to live in, because everybody is equal as we all bleed the same color.
Everyone should change their mindset to treat everyone equally, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status.
It's up to the parents to nurture their children because racism isn't something you are born with, it is taught.
There's no denying that racism exists in the world of online dating. While it might be easy to write off incidents of racism as isolated cases, the truth is that this type of discrimination can be quite prevalent. There have been numerous reports of people of color being harassed and ridiculed on online dating sites and apps. In some cases, users have even been subjected to racist comments and messages. This type of discrimination can be especially harmful for those who are already marginalized and vulnerable. It can make it even harder for them to find love and companionship. If you're concerned about racism in the online dating world, there are a few things you can do. First, be aware of the problem and be willing to call out racism when you see it. Second, don't hesitate to report any incidents of racism to the dating site or app in question. Finally, remember that you can always choose to date someone who shares your values and who is also committed to combating racism. With a little effort, you can help make the online dating world a more inclusive and welcoming place for everyone.
Next, we discuss the history of Guatemala as it pertains to the racism and oppression of indigenous people. During colonial times, indigenous people were not considered human. Today, Guatemalans still carry the weight, legacy, and mindset of colonial times. While Joel doesn’t believe Guatemala is a racist country, he acknowledges that racism still exists, especially towards black and indigenous people. There is proof of genocide, discrimination, and mistreatment against indigenous people all throughout Guatemala’s history. About 65% of Guatemalans are indigenous, or of Maya descent. During the 36-year Guatemalan Civil War, also referred to as the Armed Conflict, about 200,000 Guatemalans were killed or disappeared. Most of those people were indigenous.
When asked how racism keeps indigenous people in poverty, Joel discusses the line many Guatemalans uphold between recognizing indigenous folklore, art, and beauty, but not recognizing the indigenous people themselves. We also speak about vaccine access to indigenous people, and how the geographic dispersion of indigenous people and their medical systems further perpetuate racist cycles. Joel also adds that there is little representation for indigenous Guatemalans in modern business and politics.
