Bicentenary full of inequalities

In the year of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, here in Latin-American we’re also celebrating something. Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and some others countries have their Bicentenary. But in this Bicentenary we’ve to look to our past and see how these 200 years are full of inequalities that we can’t be proud. Let’s talk about Chile.
In the first moment of ours independence we got lead for the criollos, aristocracy’s members that have their fortunes and their victories with the sweat and blood of the mestizos who where considerer like a service class. And who governed later? Of course, the criollos. Then these very same criollos “pacified” the Mapuche’s territory and, also, let the British capitals get in Chile, at the niter’s stations exploiting and controlling even the government. Throughout the XXº century, the aristocracy (with the new bourgeoisie) still dominates the popular majority.
In these days of Bicentenary we can still watch the inequalities in Chile. In the moment of the empanadas y anticuchos, miners of the north were trap because of the horrible conditions that they work. And even we can look at the stores in the malls, and see how the treatments that a lot of worker received are. Also some Mapuches were in a hunger strike because of a law that treats them like terrorists. At the same time, you can see a lot of rich people having long and relaxing vacations, even thought are happening lots of serious problems.
In my view, these facts show us how inequals are we. In these 200 years we can see how are we‘re treating ourselves. This idea of unificated nation that the Bicentenary tries to sell us, works just for a few percent of the populations that doesn’t have problems of discrimination, bad labour conditions, etc. We can’t be proud of a Chile that shows the inequalities like something normal, and that we have to hide.
