When César Chávez was asked what he thought about the term la raza, he answered the question with a question, asking, what was wrong with the indigenous race?
The word raza was popularized by José Vasconselos who in 1925 wrote
an essay titled "La Raza Cósmica" (The Cosmic Race). Vasconcelos was an
intellectual and intellectuals at the time took it to mean that Latin
American was comprised of races from all over the world, and that the
mixture had produced a new people who would transcend the "old world".
But, as in the case of all words, meanings are distorted when they
are not defined or put into context. In the case of la raza, it was
given a bad name by some Latin Americans and Spaniards who wanted to
play down the animosity of many Latin Americans toward Spain and the
conquest. These leaders took to celebrating Columbus Day, October 12, as
the day of the "discovery" of the Americas and the mixing of the races
that included Spaniards.
Without any context, El Día de la Raza validates and accepts the
argument that the indigenous peoples were fortunate to have been
"discovered", and receiving the blessing of Jesus Christ. Moreover, they
argued the Indian benefitted from Spanish culture. But, history is
about the truth, and the celebration of a manufactured holiday doesn't
make it so.
It is offensive to mark Columbus Day as a federal holiday. It is also
offensive when classroom teachers try to impress their students with
stories of the Nina, Pinta and the Santa María.
Some cities will even hold Columbus Day parades with Italians, Jews
and Spaniards fighting for a piece of Columbus. For some of us, it is as
offensive as celebrating Hitler's birthday, which as far as I know, no
sane group in the United States wants to claim.
Debunking the Columbus Myth is difficult because it has become
legend, and it is part of our shared memory. Moreover, people want to
believe it. They want the holiday, and the manufactured truth that makes
Columbus an American hero. It is part of a Eurocentric worldview that
reinforces feelings of American and European exceptionalism.
The truth be told, Columbus was not a great man. In his early career,
he was conversant with the African slave trade of the Mediterranean and
Atlantic Islands off the shores of Spain and North Africa that made
huge profits. Columbus took these memories and their lessons with him to
the Caribbean.
His voyages were for profit ventures; by contract he was entitled to
10 percent of the profits. Upon first encountering the indigenous
peoples, Columbus wrote in his journal on October 12, 1492: "They should
be good servants .... I, our Lord being pleased, will take hence, at
the time of my departure, six natives for your Highnesses." When he
arrived in Spain, the natives were paraded through the streets of
Barcelona and Seville.
On his second voyage, Columbus sent back Indians to be sold as
slaves. In 1493 Columbus wrote to the Spanish Crowns: ""their Highnesses
may see that I shall give them as much gold as they need .... and
slaves as many as they shall order to be shipped." Indeed, hundreds of
Indians were shipped during Columbus' voyages, and in 1505 Columbus' son
Diego became an African slave trader.
Quoting from Whitney DeWitt, "The Indians that were not exported were
put into slavery on the island. There was literally no way to escape
some form of enslavement. Columbus would let the settlers of his
establishment choose whomever they wanted for their own. One account
claims that each settler had slaves to work for them, dogs to hunt for
them, and beautiful women to warm their beds. This degradation of an
entire group of people seemed not to bother Columbus or the Spaniards in
any way. They appeared to consider it their right as superiors."
The devastation was horrific. In 1492, the population on the island
of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) was estimated at above 3
million. Within 20 years it was reduced to only 60,000, and within 50
years, not a single original native inhabitant was left.
This opened the door for the African slave trade. The great majority
of African slaves went to sugar colonies in the Caribbean and Brazil. It
is estimated that 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World,
with about 10.7 million surviving the voyages. About 600,000 slaves were
imported into the U.S., and at least 200,000 African slaves were
imported to Mexico, which is significant considering that by the 17th
century, the population of New Spain once 25/28 million, dropped to
less than a million natives, and no more than 250,000 Spaniards migrated
to what is now Mexico during the entire colonial period.
African slaves did not compromise the major source of forced labor in
New Spain; the Indians were also made slaves and performed most of the
forced labor in the fields, mines and other projects.
Columbus set in place a system based on race that was expanded in New
Spain (Mexico), perpetuating a caste system based on color.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYyc6Po1XhI
The rule of thumb was the
more Spanish blood or the more Spanish a person looked the more
privileges he or she had.
The truth be told, Mexicans are still suffering the devastation and
the racism caused by Columbus. The legacy of Columbus' "discovery" can
today be seen in the streets of Mexico City where little children sell
gum for handouts, and poverty is almost solely represented by los de
abajo of the castas.
Anyone who has any sense of justice or history knows that the
ancestors of these children built great civilizations with cities larger
than those of contemporary Europe. They had books that the sons of
Columbus destroyed; they had an advanced mathematical system, calendars,
architecture, agriculture, and a defined cosmology. They were destroyed
by the children of Columbus, who reduced the natives to selling gum.
Celebrating El Día de la Raza is not an innocuous act. Holidays are
important in forming approved memories. Identity is formed by culture
that in turn shapes our behavior, beliefs and cultural narratives.
Holidays are part of our memory and form our narratives. Popular events
such as holidays are sanctioned by society, and they act as a form of
social control that help maintain a social order and a popular
consensus. It is in this context that terms such as el día de la raza
are important because they avoid the need for providing a historical
context, and thus absolve the Europeans for their sins.
I have been criticized for referring to what happened to the
indigenous peoples as genocide. Critics say that I am engaging in
hyperbole. Many repeat the cliché that after all it happened in the
past. It the process it short circuits our long-term memory.
The reality is that Columbus Day denies and minimizes the brutality
of the Spanish Conquest, and the violent deaths of tens of millions of
natives throughout the Americas. Some experts estimate that there were
100 million Indians in the Americas; this number fell to about 10
million. It denies the brutality and inhumanity of the African slave
trade.
The acceptance of Columbus Day elevates Columbus to a position of
honor. And that is offensive. Whether we like it or not el día de la
raza imputes meanings, and gives credibility to the myth that Columbus
discovered the Americas when the reality is as Jalil Sued-Badillo says,
"Christopher Columbus has the distinction of being the first to
introduce that new order to America."
I am not a proponent of collective guilt. But, at the same time, it
is important to answer César's question, what was wrong with the
indigenous race?

Christopher Columbus is shown landing in the West Indies, on an island that the
Natives called Guanahani and he named San Salvador, on October 12, 1492. He raises the royal banner, claiming the land for his Spanish patrons, and stands bareheaded, with his hat at his feet, in honor of the sacredness of the event. The captains of the Niña and Pinta follow,
carrying the banner of Ferdinand and Isabella. The crew displays a range of emotions, some searching for gold in the sand. Natives watch from behind a tree. Painting by John Vanderlyn (1775-1852)
