Kenyan Matatu Drivers

1. How are matatu drivers treated in his experience with the BBC? 

There can be seen two totally different treatments: 

In one hand there's BBC's: whith "the normal treatment, matatu drivers are recieving nothing but respect from them. In the other hand, Kenyans treat matatu drivers like thieves, and the only reason Wambaruru doesn't get treated even worse is because of the presence of BBC in the vehicle. 

2. Do Barranquilleros have the same negative opinion of mototaxistas as the Kenyans have of matatu drivers?

I believe at first there sure were some negative opinions of mototaxistas but it certainly has changed. Actually, some time ago, I was on a taxi and the driver was telling me he would rather be a mototaxista than a taxi driver, because he thinks that mototaxistas's community is more like a family and the only reason he was not a mototaxista was his age, he was too old for that. Anyway, there might be people who still sees mototaxistas as a negative, and even dangerous group,  but those must be just a few.

AfroColombians

There is a high percentage of the population in our country who are afro-descendents. However, in ancient times, people with darker skin were taken as slaves, which has made it difficult for them to be able to be considered an equal to people with lighter skin. Even though nowadays it's not like that, at least in most cases, they have problems because of racism and, of course, racists. In Colombia it's not seen in large-scale, but it is still something you would probably see in some places.

In conclusion, we all should to something about it: they're human beings, not monsters for God's sake! So next time you see an afro-descendent you should just treat him/her the same way you would like to be treated.
