“En el colegio nos decían que los indios eran haraganes, mala gente... Se les excluía socialmente. Imagínese... ¡Yo evitaba que mis amiguitos viniesen a casa para que no viesen que vivía con una índia! -su abuela era guaraní-“ (Entrevista a Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, argentino-guaraní, Premio Nobel de la Paz).
