Description: SYNOPSIS REAL STORIES OF PORTUGAL RACIST STILL LIVING IN THE MYTH OF NON-RACISM A man wants to rent a house, but as soon as he says his African name he stops receiving answers. A grandmother from Cova da Moura is thrown to the ground by a policeman when she asks about her grandson. A black woman with higher education goes to the hospital and asks if she knows how to read the information plates. Because of the color of the skin. All this happens in Portugal, to black Portuguese, and is told in the first person in the book In the White Country Customs, which gives continuity to the investigation of Racism in Portuguese. This completes the portrait of a country that in 1982 ceased to attribute Portuguese nationality to the children of immigrants born in Portugal, and where there are still those who find lists of slaves (with the respective prices) in the chests of the grandparents, among other soft - white - mores. "You see footballers who easily had the nationality, that creates a revolt. You see some who come to Portugal and after three years have the nationality, and you were born here ... You can not study, you can not play, so what can you do? "
