Car Auctions In Fredericton Nb

What we are "offended" the Mexican

Greetings to all readers of the blog. Well, I'm here again. And well, now talk about an issue that in truth, and more boring though, how they have raised controversy in recent weeks.

Many will remember about what happened in the program Top Gear, the British broadcaster BBC . Where it all begins to make the presentation of a car designed and manufactured in Mexico called Mastretta. To be honest, this car did not even know they made known the news. Well, to the point, Presenters of the program, nor mentioned anything about the car, but went on to say that if Mexicans are fat, lazy, flatulent, etc. And do not think I'm another one that comes to throw shit at the show's hosts, or the BBC, and all England, as elsewhere sucite web.



But what I think is: What are surprised?, What are offended?, What bother? and I say a Mexican, and it is not the first time you do a thing about Mexicans. Many will remember that commercial (also from England) and the famous Burger King Texican Whopper, which comes to represent the United States a very cowboy kind Chuck Norris, while representing Mexico is a dwarf type and wrestler mask (something seen as a stereotype). Then there was also annoying, had campaigned to eliminate the commercial.



And there are many other examples that have occurred in other countries, as the case of Tiziano Ferro when he said in an Italian television program that Mexican women are "ugly and mustache. " No first released as how a campaign of hatred and outrage against the singer then against Italy and their wives. etc. Is not also the same sink but now on this side?



The case of Big Brother Australia when winnowed paint balloons with a Mexican flag as part of the mismatch of the question to a contestant when asked what country became independent Mexico replied that the United States and he took it as good. There was also a hate campaign, both among the media and in public opinion, campaigns were burning and destruction of Australian flags.



Another case the cartoonist Daryl Cagle on the drawing of the flag of Mexico where it appears with an eagle being shot based on everything that has been given to crime and drug cartels in Mexico. Something that many people felt "offended" by it.

could go on with more examples, but I think it is enough, and I clarify, I'm not defending or justifying any of these actions have been taken, but I think there are things you have to give real significance and not even the peel.


As for the offense to Mexico, that when this occurs, we usually always here to qualify as "offensive," "racists," "xenophobic", "discriminatory", etc. But you have to think how many times we have not said anything about other countries, how many times have we made comments making fun of people or the customs and values \u200b\u200bof other countries? And this is something that has been done in many media, both online and on national television.

We usually make jokes about Argentines, English, gringos, Chinese, Japanese, etc. But if someone says water a Mexican joke, always attack on him,

a bad reference is made on Mexico in a program abroad, and even offend us use diplomatic means as it supposed to apologize or retract his comment. But when our "blessed" television makes a mockery of any country (and do not tell me you have never done), have seen that the governments of the countries say something?, Have seen it claim to campaign on and scream "We are offended" to the four winds? If your answer was that " because we can not say whatever we like it but nobody does anything we " because they're evil. If the governments of other countries say or do nothing when asked a mockery in a program or any other means, is simply because not interested.

Exactly, many do not have the need to walk by ignoring any kind of comment made about his country, let alone raise any legal action on the environment, institution, etc. And do not say that Mexico is the only country that can complain that if they make bad comments about them. For example, some Middle Eastern countries tend to provoke drastic action if not very militant when they offend their customs or their religion. Well, just giving an example.

Of course, I'm not saying that we are a few left, I mean to any country if we're not going to let anyone make us their feet, but I think from my point of view we must learn to be self-critical, know what is wrong us and we can give a good point .

In TV shows like The Simpsons , Family Guy, etc. You may also become critical to people, countries, religions, etc. But as U.S. series also make self-criticism, it stands out among its political, educational, economic, etc.

Well, I'm getting a little of the topic, what has been said of Mexico, en lo personal creo que hay cosas más malas que se han hecho, cosas que en verdad son indignantes y repugnantes, y lo peor del caso es que las hacemos entre nosotros mismos los mexicanos, tratar mal a nuestros semejantes, ya sea por religión, orientación sexual, estatus social y/o económico, forma de pensar, aspecto, etc.

Tristemente los medios manipulan la noticia de una forma que hasta ya no sabes si reírte o enojarte por lo absurdo que llega a ser, y lo peor es que terminan fomentando innecesarias y muy estúpidas campañas de odio, respondiendo una agresión con otra agresión. Y lo triste de nosotros los mexicanos es que "Lo nuestro, lo nuestro, lo nuestro, ES LA DOBLE MORAL".

Well, that was it. Thank you very much for taking your time reading. Leave your comments please.
