with all due respect man, I have many problems, I admit that, but being racist I can asure you I'm not! I could stay all day long explaining you why, but here comes the main one: I was brought in a family, in a community and most of all in a society that respects any color, race, belief and so on. There is no more mix of people (intermarriage and friendship speaking) anywhere in the world than Brazil, and I'm very PROUD of that, got it? By the way, what shocked me the most when I came to Doha (it was the first time I was in a Eastern country) was the intolerance, absurds like people from the same country but from different ethnies hating each other, something unthinkable for my background.
Another example: I'm from a town divided by two main football teams in Brazil. There, guys are even more passionate about this local clubs than by our national team (including myself). But almost everyone (with few exceptions, as usual) respects each other, has friends from the other side, relatives, etc, and just make fun of it.
So if I mentioned (and I know I did) anything that could sound racist, it's because I felt attacked in different ways, and being upset I lost my temper - not that justifies it, but that is the truth, my truth one would say. Never in my life I came to the terms because of football, not in the streets, not in the field, not anywhere, so I'm from peace, I'll definitely enjoy the game, and because of my age, job and family duties man, I can't afford to be juvenile anymore.
Like the famous words, " throw the stone who never commited a sin before".
Take care my friend.
