My Chilean Identity

What is your opinion regarding this?

I think that it is a good idea celebrated this bicentenary, but we must thing in people who are suffering now, too. For instance, earthquake's victims, Mapuches who are in hunger strike and of course, the miners. In spite of Mapuches' situation have a solution, we cannot do more now. It is a waste of time to becoming bitter, because the injustices  that are hapenning.

What do you know about our native people? Did you learn about them at school?

Yes, I learn about them at school, but the basic. I mean, where they lived, how they lived, and this kinds of things. Nowadays, anybody teach you how is their situation, which are their problems or how they confront their troubles.

Do you identify with them in any way?

No. I don't think that I have something similar with them. It's not discrimination is that I find we don't have nothing in common.

What Chilean characteristics do you or don't you have?

I like dancing cueca, when I dance cueca is like a passion.

What things make you proud to be Chilean, and what things make you feel ashamed?

There are a lots of problems, stupid problems would not exist, such as mapuches' problems or miners' problems, there is the solution to both problems, but t6he big problem is a decadent government.

In your opinion, what is the so called "Chilean culture"?

I have learned that the chilean culture is almost extinct, because that "roto chileno", he was that "huaso bruto" who did you enjoy the chilean dance, that chilean tap well-done. That was the chilean culture. Now, I don't know.
