Not sure I understood you 100% but are you sure this is a race thing and not just a turf war between rival cartels or gangs? Mexican cartel members will kill anyone who is in direct competition with them regardless of race. I'm sure the bigger killers of Mexicans in Mexico are just other Mexican gang members but they will treat rival Colombian cartels just the same. It's an absolute bloodbath in some of the cartel run parts as they're all vying for business and turf and it's even spilling into some of the once popular tourist destinations there which isn't going to be great for their economy.
Yep, what I was trying to explain is that the public opinion influenced obviously by the media is that the Colombians are the enemies. Of course, this is a built speech, which the only goal is just to move the people' s attention, hate and fear to the other side, instead of actually seeing that all this violence is directly provoked by the Mexican government. The "common people" is actually killing Colombians just for being Colombians, for they are so influenced that they deposit all the fear and the hate they have into another nationality now.
I think that the root of racism these days though is just misplaced anger and hatred. You will usually find that the vast majority of racists are uneducated lower/working classes and are angry about their shitty life and they need somebody to blame but deep down they hate themselves the most. They're sadly too stupid to look in the mirror and see that the only person they need to blame for their shitty lives is themselves but it's easier to blame others and immigrants or someone of a different race are a very easy target for them. They often believe in the propaganda that is spread due to ignorance like immigrants are all criminals, and are raping women and come over and 'tuk their jerbs' and so forth. This sort or rhetoric really is poison and it essentially got a president elected.
I couldn' t have explained that better. That' s what is going on: a propaganda focused on how the Colombians are "ruining" a country already ruined by their own people.
Social media plays a big part in creating hatred too. You have people on the far left and people on the far right with huge amounts of support for either side- more hatred!
Its being bred everywhere and i think a lot of it is a clash of cultures/beliefs/education. As guybrushthreepwood said in his post, a lot of hatred and violence is to do with a lack of education, or it has been bred into them from a young age from people with twisted and bitter ideology. I don't think there's an easy fix for it either....unfortunately! I fear for my 2 young sons growing up in this world i really do.
Yes, and also by a corrupted government. To me, the darkest side of this case is the fact that is actually the common people being controlled by the state's propaganda. Of course, they got away with the colombian' s assasination, so the underliner message is just that: you can actually kill a Colombian. This is a really dangerous state of things, I'm afraid. And, yes, I agree with that being a kind of global epydemic.
What is truly scary is the people being so naive to believe anything in the TV. And, also, all the hate they have inside them to be able to punch a guy to death just because he' s from another part of the continent.
If they just made all drugs legal most of this violence would stop. Its ridiculous that governments can tell people what they do to themselves, its a victimless crime.
Of course not. There is not a magic solution to educate the people to not kill others. Besides, this case is not even about drugs only, but about money, influence and racial hate. This is beyond the drugs and cartels issue, it just shows what the people have actually inside their minds: the will to kill, regardeless if the victim deserves it or not, the justice corrupted system, in wich the word "justice" sounds like a bad joke, and all the national speeches ruining outsiders lifes, while murdering their own people.
How the propaganda can reach a buch of brutes, and how they can act without consecuences, without giving a second though to what they are doing... this is the big WTF here, not the drug mexican issues.
