It is the largest survey ever carried out in this country on the discrimination of people according to the colour of their skin. 5,081 people of 16 years and over were interviewed by 700 interviewers in 121 cities, in April. Those who do, have a consciousness which is fundamental for the struggle of the black movement. The Datafolha concluded that people with higher incomes tend to be less racist than those belonging to the poorer segments of society. On the other hand, in a needy society, people with lower incomes need to compete more with others with respect to basic needs.
Skin colour can then become a criterion for the disqualification of a competitor.
In the country as a whole racism is greater amongst those interviewed who earn less. The idea of legislation that would ensure places for blacks in schools and in the work force is supported by those interviewed. The more educated disagree with the quota system. He believes there is no racial discrimination in the country, but yes a cultural difference as far as aptitude. The black community and the labour movement have been discussing this for two years.
