A youtube video of a bussisness man beating a Mexican parking attendant, sets the alarm on racism.

The photographs of Miguel Sacal hitting Hugo Vega, concerns the mexican authorities about classism and racism.


The video, that is on youtube is pressuring mexican authorities to confront the “class-cased and racist abuse”.

The images shows Miguel Secal at the lobby of his appartment in Mexico City, hitting hard and repetitively to Hugo Vega, the employee, who didin’t defend himself. The attack ocurred because the parking attendant didn’t leave his work at the counter to help Secal on his Porsche’s flat tyre. During the attact, Seal says “fucking indians”.

This kind of videos are cousing indignation on the social networks. There are other videos like one called “Ladies of Polanco”

The social and political historian Lorenzo Mayer explained that this behavior is consecuence of cultural traits, that was installed on the colonial period, to justified the dominations of the europeans over the natives.

Now the victims are raising their voices. Even though Vega did not defend himself becuse of the fear of lossing his job, now he is pursuing a legal case of assault, to have a compensation fo his two broken teeth.
