Martin Luther said it best, “Nothing good ever comes of violence.”
What a shame to walk around my lovely neighborhood and see this destruction. What a shame that I couldn´t get on or off at my metro station due to it being full of tear gas and people throwing rocks.
This is not the Chile that I know and love. Nor does it say a whole lot about Chile and Chileans as a whole. It´s a small group of uneducated people, making a lot of noise. Another march, the Day of Race, Día de la Raza.
As I wrote in my article today: After the Carabineros got everyone under control, I took a stroll to take it all in. I sat and talked with two old men about what a shame it all was. One asked that despite my photos and despite the reality, that I not, as a foreigner, portray Chile as an unstable country where all Chileans act in this manner. I assured I would do nothing of the sort, as I too know that. Unfortunately, the majority of the destruction is done by ignorant youth, not realizing that they´re fighting against major discrimination. According to official statistics, the Mapuche have some of the highest levels of poverty within Chile. That´s why they march and speak out. Busting the windows of major banks serves little purpose, as they will all be repaired by the end of this week.
So this is not how all Chileans act, rather just a few. However in the end, those few are still Chileans, acting as their culture would have it. If peaceful marching only results in being ignored, you can be assured that they will take alternative measures to be heard. I just hope they know why they´re throwing those rocks, to better and equalize a beautiful country.
