Racism against afrocolombians

It is not weird to hear cases of discrimination here in colombia. Most of the cases it involves afro-colombians. It is not good to see how people abuse of these persons because of their color. fortunately, now exist many groups trying to eradicate this behavior. Nevertheless, discrimination is present in the daily journey; simple things like  avoiding sitting next to these persons on a bus, Not allowing then to pass by in some places or even using some nicknames could be really offensive and all of them contributes to reinforce discrimination against afro-colombians. The only way to stop this situation is by changing our minds in order to be tolerant and respectful with these people. They are humans as us, so they deserve to have the same opportunities. It is not acceptable left them apart because of their skin color.
