Javi, who is from Granada and knows of my passion for the Internet world, I had asked many times how it was that he had never seen the joke about the priest from Granada.
"You have to see it, is on YouTube, you have to see.
- What is? I asked.
"You watch it, you're in Seville, and then tell me.
But the truth is I always forget to see the famous joke. However, in one of my past guards at four o'clock, I decided to finally listen to while doing a bit of time to make sure everything was under control.
To be fair, is well told. The whole joke is surrounded by an atmosphere antisevillana that can not understand and that even bother me, but very well told.
Even when I heard the end, I smiled. I wanted to laugh at all because I decided a long time not to laugh at jokes that ridicule in social groups, be they women, ethnic marginal homosexuals and anyone else you can add to this list.
However, while not my favorite type of humor, did not see a great evil in the joke. There has always been rivalry between neighboring towns, I suppose it's the survival instinct inherited from that time when we should be wary of the neighboring tribes.
My concern was aroused when I found the video in the comments (which are more than 4500) statements such as:
"I think this video q perfectly reflects the feelings of all the people of Granada, Almeria and the rest of the United Historico Granada to Sevilla: we can not even see. Man, sure there will be some apañao Seville, but the majority .... do not swallow and his whore mother. "
" the people of Seville are the cancer d this andalucia "
" sevilla I tell you what it is? the shame of Andalucia! so I tell you! porke not be ugly or beautiful, but by people k you live in it, not more than ACEIs and go brag pa d arrogant shit you have ke, ke k only thing better is the capital, and above the dais d ye ke ye the best from spain? ke ke just assume you know if giralda or cocks, put the Giralda x motherfucking ass. "
In a report issued by the European Union ten years ago showed that 70% of Europeans admit be somewhat or very xenophobic. In the same report noted that the most worrisome aspect of this figure is not to be very high, but implies that the majority of Europeans have no trouble recognizing a public inquiry should avergonzales attitude rather than pride. There is no feeling of guilt for having xenophobic sentiments.
the joke does not bother me, really. I worry that teaching tolerance is our population, able to leave written comments as above and even, surely, to feel relieved after having done so.
