I Idan Toledano amigo, hodgepodge that knows a lot of racism and, sent me this amazing video where some Mexican children, located in front of a white doll and a black, respond to questions such “What is good and what is bad?”.

(Click on the image to see video)

The comments received by the video on Youtube are diverse: there are those who doubt the worth of the study and there are those who accuse fathers and mothers of racist. You do not have the children come from families especially racist: messages are everywhere. From the cribs, since we are at Christmas, those children who present Jesus (Palestinian Jews) Beckham fairer, to Beyoncé clarified various shades in ads for L'Oreal. No doubt: ser blancx mola, is nicer, most prestigious… Kinder.

I leave, as an example, the report (disgusting) published a few weeks ago the magazine Hello on a Colombian matrons very proud of having known and having the city behind (they have) and the two colonial statues that are to be persons of flesh and blood. Here you have a photo. Breathe deep.

It published the Report on Migration 2011 International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the same day released the data means: “The Spanish think that coexist with more immigrants than there are in reality“.

Great news: in Spain are believed to be a 21% immigrant population when in reality the figure is 14%. Where does the misperception? The IOM proposes a cause: there is no common understanding about the meaning of the word “Immigration”. And here, with a candor pasmante, clarifies: the respondents and grouped under the same term for migrant workers, refugees, asylum seekers and even students or tourists.

Let me point other cause: the idea of ​​Spanishness. When we say “be Spanish” imagine a white prototype is necessarily, probably Catholic and Castilian possibly. A Sanchez Gonzalez or any. Blond or blonde as much. An old Christian, was said before.

In this prototype is difficult to include the real Spain where they live and grow several generations of Spanish who are neither blancxs, ni ni católicxs if apellidan Martínez Soria. People have come and done from here or people born here. Not that they are Spanish and they do not really; Nor is that they are “mixture” the “mestizos”, as they are also called, much less to be so terrible that has been called “immigrant second, third or fourth generation”, as if the migration of the parents is inherited by sons and daughters.

The error is in the prototype: the Perez white Catholics are perhaps most, but they are not and never were the only way of being and belonging.

PD: Looking for photo to accompany this post I Cross with the definition given in Wikipedia Concha Buika: “Concha Buika(No Palma de Mallorca; 1972)Afro-singer.”

This, clearly, deserve another post…

Those placid Sunday reading the paper are over. With the crisis (and not only economic) read the newspaper is an exercise in pure masochism. The media and advertisers are not for subtlety: nuances do not sell.

So, a couple of months Country published an article on Islamophobia in the army under the title“Does Islamist police?”, sowing panic among people who never knew they had Muslim 's in the army. Scare, that something is.

The text, signed by José María Irujono, fails to show any cases of police Islamists. At most, a reference “National Police is being radicalized over time”. This agent has been under surveillance for 5 years old (Five!) Islamization and its most notable has been his attendance at two conferences Muslims. As the article states “an internal document that explains what the alleged radicalization "of the agent of the National Police, as this and other Islamic conferences are organized by associations legalized”.

Let me confess that I, Atheist to the eyebrows, more conferences I have attended this radical Islamic shoddy.

The rest of the article discusses Islamophobia. How the Muslims are suspected agents, of how courts have had to intervene on their behalf, and how officials deny having any particular problems that an agent is Muslim or Christian.

This article may well have been titled: Is Islam… or is Islamophobia?
