En el aeropuerto yo ví no más de cuatro empleados. En los bancos, los empleados son solamente blancos. No negros, no indígenas, no mestizos. Si no es racista, ¿que es eso?W Bill Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114184381454422387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713119441078458095.post-2071614132378495262011-12-29T10:32:04.667-08:002011-12-29T10:32:04.667-08:00Do you know "Villa El Salvador " ?

These elements show that there is black people, indigenous people in the capital... He has never seen Indian peruvian as there are represented (with a lama, a peruvian cap & blablaa). Because Indigenous people are in the mountains. The native american who are in the cities as Callao, Lima, etc immigrated to have a better life.<br />For the Asian people, the ex president, before humala & Garcia, was Fujimori... a japonese ! <br />The actual president is Humala...an Indian !<br />The minister of culture in Peru is Susana Baca,an afroperuvian woman (you know her).<br /><br />There is many elements who show that there are no racism as you describe it in you post. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713119441078458095.post-90643651097757597812011-05-28T08:44:51.636-07:002011-05-28T08:44:51.636-07:00This is a great post!!! I am an African American ...This is a great post!!! I am an African American woman who recently traveled to Peru to volunteer and learn about Peruvian culture. I spent 2 weeks in Peru. My first week was spent volunteering in Lima and the second week traveling. During my time there I also recall to put mildly having a number of "interesting" experiences. Again as you previously stated until I was recognized as a tourist (well most of the time anyway). I only encountered one Afro-Peruvian who I served daily during my first week of volunteering. She was very happy to meet me that it brought her to tears. I inquired about why I saw NO other Afro-Peruvians anywhere and was told that they lived outside of Lima. I recognize that the Afro heritage was alive because I could make out the rhythms in the music that I listened to on the radio and some of the cd's that I found in the airport but other than that there was no other indications that Afro-Peruvian people existed. In addition, my Spanish is not very good. Traveling alone as a black woman I encountered a lot of men yelling things at me. At that time, I would attributed this to me being a women or a tourist and not me being a Black woman, or better yet a Black female tourist. It wasn't until I came across other International English speaking travelers (who tended to be white) did I realize that they were not having the same experiences that I have had. This goes for White women who traveled alone. That I recognized it had something to do with me being Black. Interestingly enough, I had interesting experiences on pretty much every tour. On one tour I asked my tour guide why some of these things kept occurring and he said something about black skin being seen as good luck. Another time this occurred while on a different tour and my guide would not relay the comments but was was obviously disturbed. Despite some of these things my experience was amazing,wonderful, and unforgettable and I plan to return....but when I do I will seek out Afro-Peruvians and travel to the towns you mentioned. Thank you, you have helped me to put some things into perspective. <br /><br />JasminJasminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295419100259041787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713119441078458095.post-90189558672336711692011-01-29T17:48:47.639-08:002011-01-29T17:48:47.639-08:00I traveled a lot when I was in the navy & I fo...I traveled a lot when I was in the navy & I found the racist mind set of the latin culture was just as bad or worse from puerto rico to brazil and all in between.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
