Origin of the Ecuadorians inferiority complex:

The Ecuadorian society, is characterized by the magnitude of the fragmentation and separation of the population in distinct social classes, running mostly along racial lines. You almost can compare it to the caste system of India with very little possibility of people escaping their born status.

(See statistic of the ecuadorians society)

There is deep mistrust between the various groups with each of them having their own way of thinking and doing things and not feeling themselves part of a bigger good and striving for the same ideals.
