Prof. Cornel irmão,
Portugal is not perfect. In the illiterate regions
(thanks to Salazar)of Portugal say for example the
autonomous islands where the populace do not have a
clue of Portugals past, there are pockets of racism.
But this is nothing compared to what you have
highlighted in your report. (UK).
