Bangkok's "Mexican" Ganster

In the reading "Bangkok's Mexican Ganster" people can learn about a whole different perspective about some culture which try to adopt some characteristics about another kind of culture, in this case we have the Thais and their love for some mexican things. If you haven't read the article and you see the picture of the Thais, probably you'll think that is about some guetto culture and probably also you'll think about if it is dangerous or  something like that. Well IS NOT like that, Thais are men of family, whom doesn't like violence and consider the rest of their community likely as a brotherhood. People tend to think the worst many time and just because the looks of something, but the real thing is that many of this thoughts are sterotypes which are wrong concepts about a community. That's why people shouldn't judge at first impression about something or in this context someone, mostly of the time the information about many cultures are completely false, because of this, people need to learn mote about the different kinds of culture.

Afro-Colombians Racism

Colombia is a country that have many communities in it, like indigenous, african descent, arabs descents, etc. But in the country there is also some intolerance and discrimination against some of this communities. African Descent in Colombia often is clasified as people who doesn't have any education and that problematic because maybe this is the reason about the low rate of employment among them. Even with the investigations  centers, Colombians still need to get to know the real situation around the country, because many of this rascism is because people doesn't understand the real problems in our society.
