DISCRIMINACIÓN Y RACISMO EN AGUASCALIENTES, CIUDAD DE LA GENTE BUENA.

The city of Aguascalientes, Mexico, is known as "The Land of Good People". This qualifying adjective has helped to shape a regional identity that, with an a priori judgment, disqualifies and rejects other identities. This article shows how there is discrimination and racism towards people who belong to other places and have other identities through the denial of public spaces, the counting in official statistics or the classification as migrants or floating population. Although this type of practice is directed to every person who was not born there, it intensifies towards indigenous peoples. This is a first approach to racism in Aguascalientes to make the phenomenon visible and might lead to more or deeper research of this problem. We used a documentary and qualitative non-representative research methodology that give us a general approach to the situation experienced by different communities and specifically the indigenous one.
