Políticas de acciones afirmativas étnicas y los principios constitucionales de igualdad y equidad

Abstract

Affirmative actions are determined in our Constitution as policies aimed at creating equality and equity. In this sense, the State, in its actions to achieve these principles, it has implemented the mandatory application of the same in both such as a public and private spheres, expecting this to include groups considered historically discriminated against in our country. In this sense, the present investigation searches to determine if the application of affirmative actions allows formal and material equality by State objective. Likewise, it seeks to verify to what extent the people belong to a minority group are underestimated, exposing the thesis that they will not be able to achieve something without state aid. Within this framework, observe that affirmative actions seek to create equality through differentiation. The application of affirmative ethnic actions applied to both the workplace and education in our country, generates situations of equity and equality only at the starting points, but it does not ensure situations of permanence, which would help to achieve in a real way the guarantee of accomplishment with constitutional principles. Therefore, we can conclude that the fact of benefiting from a cultural and historical differentiation results in greater processes of exclusion and inequality. Within this framework, we may establish that the social impact generated by the application of Affirmative Actions has not been analyzed or taken into account. Such is the case that can be considered as differentiating actions between citizens. However, it is more accurate to opt for policies that emphasize ensuring that people belonging to an ethnic group benefit from affirmative actions within the educational field, with equal access and a guarantee of completing a degree that later becomes the axis that contributes to inclusion of it in the workplace
