In recent years, we've seen it with Russia, China, Palestine, and now Yemen. I wonder when we'll see the racism resurface from otherwise "liberal" people in the future

Brazil, although I had already seen a lot of racist takes that completely failed to account for historical conditions in how Protestant (more specifically Evangelical) groups that are largely petit bourgeois formed the base for support for Bolsonaro, not broad support from the uneducated masses the way a lot of white liberals characterized it, I expect the racism to ramp up with Lula, especially as Brazil couples with fellow BRICS countries more tightly. A lot more accusations of unspecific "corruption" with little evidence beyond the fabricated claims from previous scandals.

there's always been a weird amount of racism about Brazil, I remember redditors foaming at the mouth about the "apocalympics" and then the only weird thing that happened was some diving pools got a strange color while being cleaned or something
