The Racism is the oldest culture
desease. Many people had suffered racial prejudice, and a lot of others are
still suffering. The Brazil, a country with various types of people, still
cases of discrimination. Recently, we had a case of racism on the biggest sport
in Brazil, the soccer. A woman, supporter of a brazilian national team
(Grêmio), huffed “MACACO” (“MONKEY”) for a soccer player in a match of her team
was losing. The act was filmed, and for punishment her team was eliminated from
the national tournament. The famous soccer player, titled The Soccer King, Pelé
spoke about the case for ESPN, "I think that
Aranha (who suffered racism) precipitated himself a little bit by wanting to
fight the supporters," he said. "If I had to stop or shout [to the
referee] every time since I started to play in Latin America, here in Brazil,
in its interior, every time I was racially abused, every game would have to be
stopped.I think we have to fight racism. But prohibition will not come in a
public way. There was a time where Santos FC had Dorval, a black right winger.
Pelé was black. Mengalvio was black. Coutinho was black. Santos were world
champions with only Pepe being white," Pele said. "When we had to
play in the interior of Brazil, they called us every word possible. Did you
ever hear about any news on racism at that time? It was because we didn't give
publicity to this. I think that when we have more publicity on something like
this, the more likely it is that it will happen again."
The
case took large audience, and this worse the situation. because the woman is
suffering rebukes in the media, the case took high proportions. On the last
week, the woman's house was burned by angry supporters of the team. The
racism should be treated with fairly, i
don’t believe that is the way to judge this woman. However, the case of racism
can becoming a case of bullying with the woman.
