Again a movie Lima was the scene of a case that was quickly labeled by the public as an example of racism existing in Peru: a young man of 13 years uttered racial slurs to a couple in the theater asked silence him and his friends, who were stirring and making scandal .
A popular Lima newspaper review the facts. According to the affected and other witnesses, to be rebuked by that partner, the young man insulted him calling him a "mountain of shit ..." and then do the same with his wife. At the indignant woman gave him a slap, that the young man replied with a punch, seeing this, the husband was angry and struck the boy.
However, when a wound racism alive and well in Peru, has sparked public outrage that this event does not point to both the young man being beaten, but the fact that the boy would dare to utter racist insults and insult and defy openly to adults.
Roland explains in his blog The golden trumpet of the verb , why the majority of public opinion has not sympathized with the minor beaten but with those who offended in word:
If you are a Peruvian "cholea" we assured that many Peruvians saving their differences of creed, political belief or preference, will join football to back it up and give the defensive (or offensive for that matter) ... a wound that is played to this day does not seem to heal, proving thereby that the manifestations of racism or discrimination on the same we have our most exposed Achilles heel.
Indeed, most social networking comments also point to justify the reaction of adults insulted, as Gilda tuiteras say Leya (@ diaz_gilda) and Lorena Flores Agüero ( @ lorenaflag ).
Aguirre was quickly challenged in social networks not only for failing to challenge the behavior and racial slurs uttered by his son, but to defend it with arguments that his son was "acting out like any boy his age," and because Rather than apologize for the misbehavior of his son said instead that he would not respond to the assault because "I will not put your height."
In this regard, @ The_Gunman commented on Twitter:
"My child does palomilladas [" mischief "] and behaves badly as any boy his age," Who would give a bad mother is beating x Celine Aguirre
From this point it became a challenge to Aguirre as a mother, as do Paul Senepo twitterers ( @ paulsenepo ) and Madferit Limeño ( @ MrKubrick29 ).
The boy's family has unwittingly fueled the anger and resentment in social networks for refusing to apologize for the boy's behavior and to reaffirm their willingness to legally punish those who beat him.
On this particular saying tweeters as Diego Saavedra ( @ Dieg0_s26 ):
CRAZY AT THAT! Who attacked whom? WHICH A CLAIM IS WORTH Chibolo [child, young] ... JUST LIKE THAT IS UNDER ...

One of the pocosposts social networking question dealing with the fact that a child was beaten is to Veronica Cervantes , on Facebook:
HERE IS NOT WHO IS SON OF GOD THAT THEY PASS! ANY CHILD COULD BE THE PERUVIAN, including some of UDS. THE CHILD IS A MALCRIADO, IT IS. BUT NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BEAT, I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY JOURNALISTS SUPPORT THIS PAIR OF ABUSIVE, BOTH JOURNALISTS HAVE NO CLEAR NO IDEA OF WHAT IS TO HAVE A SON, BUT YOU WOULD BE ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW. BE THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE SON OF ARTISTS WHO HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR A GOOD LAWYER AND REQUEST THAT THE COURT PUNISH THIS ACT OF VIOLENCE AND THE APOLOGY OF RACISM, NOT ACCOUNT FOR ME, NOT NOW KNOW YOU DESERVE SOME SAY SERRANO good shots, THOSE FOOLS ARE COMPLEX. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE CAN BEAT A CHILD AND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN THIS PAIR OF HUMAN BEASTS.
Peruvian actor Christian Meier ( @ oliverdog ), uncle of the boy, he used to say in how their former in-laws are driving the incident:
Today all these "victims acted on" around the world, dediquémosle the HashTag
# HelloDejaElShow
The Blog The promise of Peruvian life touches the thorny issue of the relationship between racism and social inequality at all levels in Peru:
For the sisters Celine and Marisol Aguirre ... there is no justice for the "mountain bastards" who their children are often insulting and hitting in theaters. They may be right. How many middling criminals are in jails and how many white-collar criminals are enjoying home detention?
Laura Garate Arroyo reflects on the news blog Free Spacio on polarization that was generated:
I wonder ... both involved the inability to admit they did something wrong. The teenager's mother has not attacked any time mentioned in the review of your child, or their attitudes (including those of his friends) were wrong. Similarly, I am surprised that none of the two characters who started the beating affirm that it was wrong to fall into that and justify it by saying they never knew they were teenagers ... racism is one of the worst evils prevailing in the country, but so is the justification of violence. "
And Gustavo Faverón also reflects on his blog about the fact that this particular racist incident has generated as much excitement as thousands of similar cases occur daily in Peru:
If the Peruvians think that all racist is equally reprehensible, then enter the trending topics of Twitter would not be the name # CelineAguirre, would the word # racism, and would not be for two days would be all the time, every day, and issue would be discussed and debated on the walls of Facebook three hundred and sixty five days a year, not a couple of days and sixty days does not, to the next micro-scandal, and television programs would have to talk about it all the time (...)
Upon closing this post, the incident had just been parodied in a comic Peruvian television, made much celebrated in social networks and the Facebook page more racist than Celine Aguirre's son published a photo allegedly Boy .
The family's lawyer announced that in any criminal proceedings be initiated against the couple who responded to shocks to racial abuse, which might be expected that this issue has for long.
