A Spanish man who assaulted a young Ecuadorian girl on a Barcelona subway train remains free until his trial. Apparently, punching her, grabbing her breasts and kicking her in the face while shouting things like “immigrant bitch” and “slut” is not enough to warrant xenophobia. Maybe next time, try setting a puppy on fire at the same time, yeah?

Now that the comments are working again, allow me to be the first to call this guy a puto.

@latin_princess - but yeah, next time i’m there. total weiner punching.

@ nacolindo: True, but the fact that he’s been allowed to walk free until his trial and that the case hasn’t been classified as xenophobia due to lack of evidence are new.

what a piece of sh*t this guy is. he does NOT deserve to be roaming this earth free or alive. this makes me yell out obscenities which is TOTALLY UNLIKE ME.
Poor girl, i hope she’s ok and getting the support she needs. i’m sure this messed her up in the head.

Maybe the Ecuadoran gov’t can cry foul to the Spanish gov’t on this behavior.
Then again, maybe we are just used to the whole “colonization” mentality.
I, for one, went to Spain just to flip off the statue of Christopher Columbus, just to return the favor.
True story.

I had a conversation with a Spaniard a couple of months ago, who told me that Ecuadorians made up a significantly large immigrant population and that there is a very strong link between the governments of the two countries, where Spain is welcoming droves of Ecuadorians.
I asked my Ecuadorian friend a couple of weeks after that conversation, and he corroborated the Spaniard’s assertion.
For what it’s worth, here’s an article speaking to this Ibero-american marriage of, er, convenience(?).
It initially struck me as totally out of nowhere. Like Japanese in Peru.

I was there when this happened and the guy that sits there doing nothing was argentino:

and the spanish press, in their infinite classiness, named the aggressor “el peganiñas”.

Spaniards: Slaughtering Mexicans and beating up girls on trains. I love Europeans.
