Kenyan Matatu Drivers


1. How are matatu drivers treated in his experience with the BBC? 
They were treated by the police like offenders, even when they haven't done anything. Just because they are trying to survive in a hard environment that is not providing the jobs needed by the persons. Yes, maybe they some times have to break some rules, but that is in order to try, at least, one job to live. Adding to it, thanks to the corruption, that is a "easy way to earn money" for the police.
Plus, when he was helping to the BBC, there was a misunderstanding  cause by some stereotypes, and (for me) a lag of personality and self esteem, because, a person thought that they will "go back to UK and tell their friends that they were in Africa and captured some very interesting shots of monkeys ". That was very disappointed.
But at the end he could understand that, some things, may start bad, but have a "happy ending"
2. Do Barranquilleros have the same negative opinion of mototaxistas as the Kenyans have of matatu drivers?
Well, actually, we have, and worst. Because we don't only thing they are dangerous in the street, or that they are breaking a lot of rules, we think that insecurity has increase thanks to mototaxistas. Maybe, because all the robs are made in motos.

Discrimination




In this video, we can see that, in some places in Colombia, the Afro Community is discriminated against, because their traditions, their way to dress, they appearance, just because it doesn’t fit in their customs. Thanks to this, they’ve been rejected in most of the jobs, just leaving to them the “Work for the minority”. The jobs they can aspire are like labor, construction and some other jobs that are seem as, insignificant or despicable.  This has caused poverty in those communities. Adding to it, if they can get a Job, they have to change some traditionally things in order to can work on it.  It doesn’t matter if they have a career, just for be Black, they would be discriminated. They sometimes are discriminated for the area they are living, the zone.  If we continue doing this, we will be keeping denying our roots.
