There are several requests published on >Goanet wanting more info on the subject. Even hindus >want to regain their pre 61 Portuguese status I usually try to avoid replying to his rambling, having been warned by some of his neighbours in Macau. I just couldn't let this pass.

Perhaps BC has some type of racist complex because to paraphrase him, "it is not uncommon for a non white or a person from the sub contintent usually called the MONHE to face racism in Portugal"
