Intellectual effort were quickly destroyed and replaced by a system of values alien and incomprehensible to them . This process contributed to the devaluation of native culture and, in some cases, generated a feeling of inferiority, which persists today. Furthermore, indigenous communities face fierce stigmatization and disdain for their cultural practices. Many individuals with indigenous physical features experience shame due to deep-rooted prejudices, which leads them to distance themselves from their roots. Skin coloring, even if not explicitly expressed, is often a source of shame for many. "Wow! Your son turned out to be so white, right, friend?" "What a tan the other one had!" How many times did I hear those phrases in my childhood. At that time, I was unaware of the malice implicit in those comments, but today I recognize them and unmask them instantly.
A veiled hatred is revealed towards our indigenous identity, towards our original blood. No one wants to associate with the defeated; Everyone aspires to belong to the side of the supposed winners. Salvadoran Phone Number Database society harbors deep racism; The black, the indigenous, arouses distrust. They are disparagingly labeled as "slit-leg Indians." Dark-skinned people are stigmatized, linking them to crime and drugs, and their mere mention generates discomfort. What are you ashamed of, oh mestizo Salvadoran? Are you ashamed of the warriors who faced the Spanish in Acajutla, of Atlacat, of Prince Atonal? Do you and your contemporaries possess the dignity, courage and bravery of those warriors who chose to give their lives rather than live as slaves? Active life never accepts living unworthily; Surviving is not among his most golden ambitions, but rather living, and as a slave, that is not possible.
The Salvadorans themselves say: “those Pipil warriors that some Salvadorans are proud of are mythological, they never existed.” What does it matter if our best combatants, Atlacatl and Atonal, are real or fictional; The crucial thing is that there was a breed of extremely brave men. Mediocre historians, who approach history with the guts of a frog, do not understand that this land was never cowardly . The Spanish were forced to use firearms to defeat the most seasoned and ferocious Pipil warriors. No one wants to associate with the defeated; Everyone aspires to belong to the side of the supposed winners. Salvadoran society harbors deep racism I mock you, oh foolish Salvadorans, who hate their roots and secretly long to carry only European blood in their veins! Both the attitude that promotes hatred towards everything Spanish and that which feels shame for the indigenous heritage are foolish perspectives.
