Sumario:Exclusion underlines the xenophobic edicts of the supposed mandate of the majority—predators of minorities—in daily acts of classism and racist jokes. These actions typically take place where different historicities enter into dispute as a result of displacement.

This paper reveals how xenophobia and racism have been present throughout the history of this border, and have taken new forms today.
