Discrimination in Latin America Discussion

The eradication of discriminatory practices can only be achieved if each, and every person in the world is educated identically, if everyone has the same personal experiences, and basically if the entire world would have no diversity.

Many people are afraid to venture to these places, and a lot of people are ignorant to the disturbing things happening in these regions.
