Abuse in Brazil

BRIGHTON star Bernardo says he has suffered racist abuse – but not in Europe, just in his home country of Brazil.

At the end of a week in which racism reared its ugly head with an alleged verbal attack on Raheem Sterling at Chelsea, Bernardo, 23, (right) said: “Until I know the full details about that I can’t comment, but I can comment about my own experiences in Brazil. “In my school I was the only black guy. It bothered me. “If you look at Brazil from outside it seems a mixed country. But we were one of the last countries to quit slavery. I came across prejudice there — but not here.”
