Question

Read the text and decide which title is best for it.

Even though it has joined the modern world, Mexico still tends to overlook a topic of great importance: racism.

Think of the skin color of the people who usually live in the wealthiest neighborhoods. Now think of the people who do their housework. Although some might claim otherwise, studies reveal that in Mexico, the best or highest-paying jobs tend to go to those who have the lightest-colored skin. These people also tend to live in the best neighborhoods. On the other hand, people with darker skin often work in low-paying jobs. We can see examples of this when we look at politics or the television industry, where most people are light-skinned. In contrast, when you come across street vendors or people working in the construction industry, they are likely to be dark-skinned.

In a well-known psychological experiment performed in Mexico, some children entered a room and sat on a chair. There were two dolls on the table in front of them: one white and the other black. They were then asked some questions ("Which doll is pretty?", "Which is ugly?", "Which is a nice doll?", "Which one is good?", "Why is she good?", and "Which doll looks like you?") and asked to choose between the two dolls. Most children agreed that the white doll was pretty and nice and the black doll was ugly and bad. These children, just like people in general, immediately judged others by the color of their skin before knowing anything about their personality or skills.

To combat racism, a good place to start is to educate ourselves about other cultures. This can help us recognize any unconscious prejudices we have. A lot of racism comes from judging a culture without knowing anything about it. It is easy to think that other ways of living are bad just because they are different from ours.
