Reflection on "Some say racisim exist in Perto Rico" by Rosario Fajardo

Many people think racism is not a problem in Puerto Rico or in the Caribbean in general and to that I have only one thing to say, this is 100% not true. In Puerto Rico I have seen how people mistreat Hattians and people from the Dominican Republic just for the fact that they are a bit darker in skin tone; But sadly, I’ve seen black Puerto Ricans being racist to Dominica’s and Hattians and for me that’s very sad we should be a united people not a bunch of racist people. But this doesn’t happen only in Puerto Rico yu can look at the current situation between The Dominican Republic and Haiti. In a Video by Vox on a border series they discuss the history and the current situation of the Haiti/Dominican border and I have never been so sad in my life Shure Haiti is a poor country but that doesn’t justify the treatment that some countries in and out of the Caribbean (including P.R) have given towards the Hattian people. I think we should unite to help our brothers and to build a bright future for their countrie and for ours.

This is a video from Vox that describes the situation in a good and well writen video
