Colombian Reality Show Sparks Heated Debate on Systemic Racism

A recent episode of "La Casa de los Famosos Colombia" sparked a debate on structural racism between Afro-Colombian contestants Karen Sevillano and Omar Murillo. Sevillano highlighted systemic disadvantages in Black communities like Guapi, Cauca, and Timbiquí, citing a lack of educational opportunities. Murillo argued against victimhood, suggesting personal change is key. Vlogger Lali Fernando Riasco criticized Murillo's stance as benefiting "whiteness" by shifting responsibility from systemic issues. This discussion reveals a generational and ideological divide in addressing racial inequality in Colombia.
