A Cancun resort tried to kick out a Nobel Peace Prize winner because she was wearing a Maya dress and they thought that meant she was a bag lady. There is some definite irony over a resort that caters to people coming to see Mayan ruins discriminates against indigenous people, and that someone honored for defending human rights should get treated like those who needed her help. Clearly there is a long way to go.
