Colonialism. Germany's history in Southern Africa.


I once worked for Vigiexpert at Inspeção-Geral das Atividades em Saúde. 

There, racists discussed my sexual orientation, my dick, and my supposed intelligence or the lack of it. 

One commented on my desire of becoming a painter (as the racist Ukrainian female doctor at Santa Maria Hospital) by poking fun at a photograph I posted on Flickr, entitled My Studio.

Apparently, a studio ought to be glamorous.

None of them know me, or even ever interacted with me before, regarding anything.

The only person there with apparent African ancestry — she seemed unaware of the mocking aimed at her by some of her hierarchically low-ranking colleagues — made fun of my "anti-colonialism stances" on my first day, filling for the paid leave of a colleague I do not know. 

People who know nothing about me.

Colonialism was much worst than what is shown here.
