Great Anti-Racist Campaign for Halloween

Did you see these posters? I think they're great. I can imagine several with Brazilian stereotypes -- a samba dancer or a Brazilian indigenous person. (they were also featured on cnn)

When I was in graduate school there was this huge brouhaha when a Spanish student appeared at a Halloween party painted black (and accompanied by a "Conquistador"), so I've  been thinking about these issues since then. This campaign just made it relevant for other cultures & ethnicities.

Well... that's it for today, tomorrow I'll blog more.
