Abstract
El objetivo de este artículo es aportar algunas reflexiones en torno a los motivos que podrían subyacer en la ineficacia de las medidas adoptadas por los gobiernos contra la discriminación racial y étnica. Con ese objetivo, la atención se dirige hacia las políticas de inmigración. La justificación para la elección de este enfoque radica en que esas políticas se sustentan sobre criterios discriminatorios entre personas, fundamentalmente según la nacionalidad. Surge, así, una contradicción: se prohíbe ciertas formas de discriminación entre personas, una de las cuales sí que puede ejercerla el estado de forma legítima. Las políticas contra la xenofobia y el racismo se podrían interpretar, desde este enfoque, como medidas dirigidas a gestionar ese monopolio en el derecho a discriminar.
The aim of this article is to set out some thoughts around the reasons that may underlie in the ineffectiveness of the measures adopted by the Governments against ethnic and racial discrimination. With this purpose in mind, the attention is directed towards immigration policies. The reason to this choice is that the backgrounds of those policies are discriminatory, as long as they are based on nationality to distinguish between individuals. Due to that, one contradiction arises: despite some forms of discriminatory behavior are forbidden to individuals, one of those forms is allowed to the state. From this viewpoint, anti-discriminatory policies can be understood as measures directed to manage that monopoly on the right to discriminate.
