DISCRIMINATION IS<br />
ANYOLÍ ARAÚZ<br />
Age: 19<br />
Birthplace: Panama City<br />
Marital status: Single<br />
Height: 1.84 m<br />
Socio-economic status, at birth: Low<br />
Socio-economic status, present: High<br />
Anyolí’s father, a junk salesman, fled to the U.S.<br />
after a run-in with the local mafia. The cash remittances<br />
that he wires --whose provenance is not<br />
clearly defined-- has turned the Araúz family into<br />
notorious Panama City noveau riche. Anyolí considers<br />
that her material wealth and opulent lifestyle<br />
will disappear as quickly as they arrived.<br />
ETHAN ARAÚZ<br />
Age: 8<br />
Birthplace: Panama City<br />
Marital status: Single<br />
Height: 1.42 m<br />
Socio-economic status, at birth: High<br />
Socio-economic status, present: High<br />
Unlike Anyolí, Ethan believes that he is entitled to<br />
wealth, as it’s the only lifestyle he has known since<br />
birth. Both his neighbors and schoolmates come<br />
from well-to-do families and he has adopted their<br />
poses. attitudes and values. And since his mother<br />
does nothing to dissuade him, it’s up to Anyolí to<br />
put his feet back on the ground… but it’s not an<br />
easy task.<br />
