An old social issue

A stereotype of blacks

Racism is a very very old form of discrimination in the humankind almost as old as sexism (see my entry about sexism). Firstly, racism is a socially constructed prejudice, because people have made generalizations about minorities for a long time such as "blacks are delinquents", "Asian people are mafia", "Latin Americans are drug traffickers", etc. In addition, racism is a form of fear, fear of facing the "different", wich ultimately causes hatred (man naturally hates what he fears), and this can be explained by many historical facts such as Nazism, where Adolf transmitted his hatred with the masses to different groups what was racially motivated. Finally, in relation to the former, racism is already so common that stereotypes are already seen as normalized, this can even be seen on television and in the movies: black or asian is usually the first to die in horror movies, in the television series or the novels the brunette woman is automatically of low social class, or a servant (where the viewer gives a sense of inferiority, very basic), among other facts.
In conclusion, we can extract these thoughts of people through tolerance, thinking that we are all human beings, that we have differences and these have to be respected, to finally eradicate racism.

A very special being

Condesa killing a pillow

My little dog Condesa is the most beautiful creature on this planet. Firstly, she looks like a puppy even if she is twelve years old, Condesa acts like a puppy because she sleeps long hours, but when she wakes up she is hyperactive and when we take her out for a walk she runs, jumps and plays.

In addition, Condesa despite being small (she is the size of an adult cat) she does not fear anyone, like strangers, other dogs regardless of size or breed. I remember perfectly when one day on one of her walks a Rottweiler approached her and she acted aggressively against him, and the dog ran for his life. Finally, my little dog knows you feel, she always is with you, accompanies you, although she cannot answer, she always listens, for example she was with me all the time when I was sick for a week, two years ago. In conclusion all these things make Condesa a beautiful and special creature.
