Yes, both of those places are inherently racist in terms of demography etc etc..
Which makes both Castro & Lula particularly revolutionary in terms of progressive attitudes toward their Afro communities..
Castro/Cuba, for a long while, produced some of the most highly educated Black folks in the region..
So much so that many of the doctors in the West Indies were educated or trained in Cuba..
And now, because of the education reforms Lula instituted in Brazil---with Affirmative Action etc---the ranks of the Black educated are swelling.
