Matatu drivers were treated in a bad way during his experience with BBC by both the police and their fellow country men. Police officers were rude with them because they were just trying to get money out of them, that's why they stopped them so many times. And to make things worse, their own fellows were judging them because they were helping people from BBC with the shooting and this was really embarrasing for the Matatu drivers.
People has a negative opinion about mototaxistas because they think that they don't respect laws, specially traffic ones, and that they are all thieves. Maybe in relation with religion people doesn't have the same prejudgement that Kenyans have about Matatu drivers. However, they live the same situation with police officers, due to they also are stopped frequently accused for false infractions to take money from them.

Racism against Afrocolombians
The situation about Afro people is really worrying because it's incredible that after so long, racial segregation is still present in our society. The percentages with respect to poverty, unemployment and young people that go to college are alarming.
It's necessary for people to understand that we can't define others by the color of their skin. This isn't a big sacrifice, it's just to accept others as they are without stereotypes.Only with this, we will make a great progress in our society that would bring many benefits.
