Cultural Document

I saw the video named "A forgotten Injustice." This video is very sad. It talks about the injustice done to the Mexican people during 1930's. About two million Mexican people, of whom approximately 60% were citizens and legal residence of the United States, were deported from the U.S. They were deported just because they had Mexican ancestry. This act of discrimination in the history is not fair. To discriminate and punish someone just because of his race is very bad. Nowadays in our culture, this kind of videos interviewing the victims of injustice are found to inspire people, not to repeat the history again. I hope that the history does not repeat again because the one who has to suffer at the end are the innocent people, as in this case were the Mexicans. The link to the video is:
