Paraguyan Newspaper Wins Dubious Honor for Racism

14:40 H | Topics: Newspapers - Paraguay - Race

JARAWA30_news.jpgParaguay’s newspaper La Nacion rightfully has won for publishing the most racist article of the year.The (dis)honor was given by Survival for an editorial which compared Paraguayan Indians to a ‘dangerous cancer’ and described them as ‘filthy’. From the actual article published in September of last year:

A Neolithic, Indian camp right in the city centre is unthinkable, but there it is, like a dangerous cancer, spreading bad smells, destruction and contamination. The city's being punished, for no reason, and it shouldn't have to pay for it. The Indians have to learn to live like people, or get back to the jungle.
