Brazil, the land of "racial democracy"

I had to post this image, taken from the blog of my favorite author, composer, and militant Afro-Brazilian, Nei Lopes. This was part of a guerrilla campaign to put a face on (no pun intended) racism in Brazil. The caption on the kids' shirts say: "If I looked like this, would you look at me differently?"

Seu Nei posted this to protest the annulment of the law that required quotas for Afro-Brazilian actors to have higher visibility in theater, movie and television productions. The law was supposedly repealed in part due to pressure from the democratic party (DEM) and the evangelical christian movement that demonizes Afro-Brazilian culture and religion...

When will Brazilians admit that they have a "racism" problem?
