have taken several days to set aside the sour taste that I left the last presidential election. After having to vote for Alan Garcia in 2006, I hoped to never have to leave the secret chamber with nausea. However, the Peruvian electorate continues to be a Pandora's box per se (and for that statement, my argument are the first results of presidential elections in which state I live ... and obviously we can bring the text more examples). Each choice is unpredictable, not only for the anecdotes of each candidate but on the syllabus of his companions, but their own. Unsigned Sons, rebellion, fraud, high-profile cases of corruption in previous efforts, etc ... PC count.

After the elections I've seen in many social networks comments about (obviously), and although most of my friends had decided to vote as of PPK as I did in Toledo (as Mario Vargas Llosa, Fernando de Syslo, Javier Perez de Cuellar, among others) I have seen them / as same / as opposing views on the election results. Here two of them copied verbatim, including their misspellings:
it became clear that those who elect the president are not you reading the newspaper, but those who wipe their ass with it. [Sic]
Let's insulting, to think of who had to give, who should support who and what must have happened. What happened is that Peru went out to vote, and elected those who represent it better. [Sic]
course after seeing this in the comments Facebook does not mean I have mentally prepared for all the trim and then comments could be seen in social networks. Although the issue of racism always seems to me that was latent in our society, after the electoral flash could be materialized in the virtual media. As shown in the note by the news portal of RPP, the fact that this issue (racism) was dormant for a long time and has only come to light because of the frustration experienced by less than 46% of voters ( Keiko Ollanta 32% + 22% = 54% according to flash electoral ). Even I know people involved in the project A Roof for my Country (project to "Improving the quality of life for families living in poverty through emergency housing and implementation of plans for social empowerment," according to its Mission) who swore he could to the same people who would built houses.
's comments marked multiplied racist Facebook and Twitter after the polls Sunday to decide the pass to the second round of nationalist and populist Ollanta Humala Keiko Fujimori.
"We've never seen so publicly expressed racism. Peru is a very racist society, but where the subject remains taboo in a thought, a glance or comments for the family or close friends, "said Efe human rights attorney Wilfredo Ardito.
That view is shared by the journalist and social networking expert Marco Sifuentes, for whom the lack of debate public life and fosters the official discourse that the network is "the perfect place to discuss these issues."
Racism is not new in Peru, according to surveys, 80% of Peruvians recognize their existence in social life But rare are identified as racist and those who express these ideas publicly and directly.

"I was wrong to interpret the comments? Cartoonist is wrong? Maybe some people have not seen or do not want to see ... but the election results were a clear sign that there is a strong component relating to social classes, races and I would say, to cultures (if any anthropologist to help me with the concepts, definitions, etc ... we greatly appreciate) that has not worked effectively ... What this is called "integration", I think?
And how we integrate? Not enough to go the other way and take photos, pay for services (food, lodging, entertainment) and then hang them on Facebook ... is that (and this is going to sound corny) to open our hearts to others with whom we share the country. And by that I mean we are willing to listen, to know their cultures beyond mere knowledge and tourism superfluous to give value to the different customs, thinking that our needs are not those of all Peruvians and that in our country, multiculturalism There are still those who can not read, do not have electricity, do not know about human rights and I assure you some do not know what the Peru (and I assure you because I lived it! ... when I went to Cajamarca, a few years ago ).
course I want to integrate, but if you prefer to ignore the other Peruvian ... maybe you're wondering how this person that unfortunately I had to cross virtually, after making a brief comment to this state of a friend on Facebook:
He preferido cambiar los nombres of the people who made the comments, although I have no clear why ... I just felt right. Clearly, who writes under the name (given by me) of "Fran" is a jerk and an example of how far apart we are in Peru to build bridges between cultures, races, social classes and any other factors that are cause for dispute. This, quite apart did not say anything interesting, child tantrums only private university (and yes, expensive, but perhaps the point is not necessary as it can be inferred). I can not help but wonder how many people think, more or less what "Frano" ... and worse still, how many people unconsciously or leads that will never accept have preferences of class or race ... seems never overcome the racial Forado left the Viceroyalty of Peru. Thank God not all the "lucky" (as lifestyle segmentation of Arellano ) think alike, and we also found some messages that illuminate the overshadowed (by racism, anger, intolerance, etc.) Peru after the elections.
Now most of my acquaintances are killed for defending the country's economic growth "to vote for Keiko just" say, and when I found some for several days or even let me finish giving my opinion for the 2nd round, as soon as I said "I can not vote for Keiko in a matter of principle ..." and started calling me Humala, red, revolutionary, Chavez, among others ... luckily my friend Tom tried to explain that the 3 options given election, there is not going to consider. Do not think I heard.
I : (...)
not vote for Fujimori
think if I vote for Humala or corrupted
Pit : HOW WILL YOU VOTE FOR Humala dude
?!??!! THESE LOCO
I : y xq no?
Pit: WE WANT TO VENEZUELA?
I : no, I do not want
but I will not vote for Fujimori Pit: But Humala is a thousand times worse
CARAJO
dude go to college
NOT KNOW THAT CHAVISTA Humala is a SHIT?
WANT TO CUT ALL FTA??
I : You have not learned anything about elections, no?
Pit: YES, THAT Humala VELASCO
Humala is THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN TO PERU
NOT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN CONSIDER WHETHER I want to vote for Humala
I : I can not consider it?
The conversation was there because I had to leave ... but is another sign that we have no national vision, because the reality of Peru is beyond the indicators economic macro would have us believe that "economic growth" equals "development." It took some time to finish digesting the difference when I studied these concepts, but I can not be confused GDP (growth) in literacy rate and life expectancy (some concepts included "development"), to name a few. People, please ... lift up his head a little, stroll, internalize that there are many people who want change.
voted for our candidate, ok ... Who represented us why? A plan of government? (Side note, our choices are cutting caudillo) ... of course, are factors to consider, but let's sit down and think about what is best for Peru ... and go beyond economic growth, these people away from the internet, universities expensive and rise before sunrise so you can have your Starbucks coffee ready when you go for your urban life and capital. I ask to see the 2011 electoral map by district ... and see the real dimension of the election of Ollanta and Keiko (when viewing the map, please ask yourself: where was the "Climb up PPK?):

This is 2006 on steroids. I remember in the CADE of that year, after we save them by the government just a Humala, joined the business-to-scared to talk about inclusion. The scare happened when it all started to believe in the "Peruvian miracle."
Four years later, the promise of radical change that are still waiting for the excluded not only represented by Humala, but also by Keiko. One is anti-economic and other anti-political (although both deny it). Both represent the Peru that still angry. Two sides of the same coin.
But of course if you are only looking at the navel of the figures, perhaps only one of them is a threat to you. The problem is that Peru is not just figures: these are institutions, values, democracy, freedom of expression, human rights and all those things that sounds abstract but, darling, PPKausa-have concrete effects on the country's stability and economic development .
"They have not won the ignorant ..." by Ocram in Blog: The uterus Marita How
work (can be measured in man hours, if you like) is required to change all this? Ok, following a Taoist philosophy can never be fixed completely, but I think it is impossible to make progress to let these views that I copied are slim.
Well, just writing to illustrate the great challenge that we ("we" if you want to be part of it, obviously, if not ... why do not you leave the country?) To integrate the country, a multicultural with some years of economic growth that politicians have failed to translate into development.
So things are. Horrible. And I say horrible because in these ten years is that Peru had made progress on these two fundamental aspects that call into question today: apparently, it was consolidating economic progress that we would take the third world and we all thought that after the disastrous decade of fujimontesinismo longer so we happily succumb to authoritarian proposals. But see. There are about 9 million Peruvians who think differently.

May we use our education to positively impact society, being agents of change, transforming society. Although statistics and electoral processes show me otherwise, I think it's possible ... To continue to learn to serve better!
