La Paisana Jacinta: En Búsqueda de Wasaberto

Some are calling this comedy; however, this is a very racist movie, plain and simple.

The main character represents a woman of indigenous ancestry, who is filled with negative stereotypes created through countless generations of the elite population in power. These stereotypes regarding indigenous woman and minority groups are part of the racist views on indigenous people.

This said, the main character represents a woman that is naïve, imprudent, deceiving, laughable, with questionable moral and violent reactions. Such characterization denigrates the image of the indigenous women of Peru tremendously. This is a disgrace.

The racist connotation of this movie is so shameless that one wonders how this kind of production could be supported by Peruvians themselves. This movie should be banned internationally! This could set an example that racism will not be tolerated under any form.
