Guys, take a look at this very intelligent comic strip! I believe that, opposed to what happens to the 'white guy' when he meets the last character, we have a lot to say about the message that is being conveyed, right? :)
Should the Amerindian say "go back to Europe"? Not really! Where is our real home? I say the Earth is this place and not those territories divided by imaginary lines on a map. We are citizens of the world! It is a pity that some people, like the guy in the comic strip, act as if they were THE "owners" of a place. However, in my opinion, this is an example of a situation that we should deal with, instead of just avoiding it; not judging, for example, the white guy or focus the others as victims, but trying to be part of a dialogue with them, focusing on rethinking their concepts as people in a world where distance is getting closer and closer, defending a perspective that a behavior like that is inappropriate for this globalized movement we are part. And I believe that Education is, in fact, the key word for such.
