Meanwhile…
About 100 Brazilians gathered outside the Spanish consulate in Sao Paulo on Tuesday to protest against the racist abuse of Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior in Spain’s top-flight football league, La Liga.
The protesters, some belonging to human rights groups movements, chanted slogans such as “La Liga is racist” and “End racism in Spain and in Brazil” for about an hour.
They brought banners and stickers that read “Vini Jr, I am with you.” They also projected the words “It is not soccer, it is racism” onto the walls of the consulate. Some even brought flares.
