Racism

Ariel Gómez León, diputy of Chiapias who also is the announcer of a radio show, made a very racist comment the other day and unfortunately he was heard by a lot of people, he said that in Haiti people looked abusive, that they were kinf ot taking advantage of the situation, and he also said that they were all alike (or the same) he said that they were all black and stuff like that.

I think this is a really big problem because racism is a big problem right now (even though is not a problem that big as it used to be), but how can we demand respect when we are not capable of respecting others not even in that really sad sitation they are in now, and even after he did it he denied it and he said that he thought that the microphone was turned off and that he just say it jocking that he did not meant any harm, and that it will be ironic if he was a racist because he said his dad is a veru dark man.
