#Brazil had its first #law making #racial #discrimination an #offence in the 1950s. Since 1989, #racism has been a non-bailable and imprescriptible #crime. If found #guilty, a #person could be sentenced to 2 to 5 years in #prison. Since 2023, a #racial #insult โ when the offense is directed to a specific individual rather than a collective โ also had its #penalty increased and equated to #racism in the #legislation. Paez was arraigned for the latter.

Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.
